I'll tell you how I do something very like what you specify.
/etc/rc.local is your friend.
In my case, I also use ~/.bashrc
I find the audio files I want to use and stick them in /boot. I have
names like /boot/boot.wav, /boot/login.wav, etc. That way, I can change
sounds without editing anything. All I need do is copy the new sound to
the existing filename.
Now, in rc.local:
aplay /boot/boot.wav
This is also where you can launch any global apps you want to launch.
In ~/.bashrc:
aplay /boot/login.wav
Why? Because sometimes I boot without speech, especially on my laptop,
and I want to know without additional action on my part that I've
successfully logged in.
Put any additional per console login apps you want in ~/.bashrc or
~/.bash_profile.

If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.
