gsifile

gsifile gives file information and converts files (latter part doesn't work yet because the libgsif functions to do so aren't finished). Here's sample output on a hmp file: 
$ gsifile test/data/music/hmp/descent-sw10/briefing.hmp

gsiplay

gsiplay plays midi, hmp, mus, au, aiff/aifc, wav, voc, and controls the cd player and the mixer: e.g. 
$ gsiplay cdplay
when the cd is stopped (e.g. gsiplay cdstop): 
$ gsiplay cdstatus

cd status 0 (NONE)
Track  0: DATA
Track  1: start m.s.f  0:  2:  0
Track  2:     ,,       4: 38: 45
Track  3:     ,,       8: 16: 55
Track  4:     ,,      11: 41: 10

If the CD was playing, the same result would be obtained but cd status would be PLAYING.

Mixer settings can be viewed with: 

$ gsiplay -S
