That is the implementation we are targeting, we don't need classdef
for this project.

If I can try to rephrase part of the original question that hasn't
been addressed, since I talked with Vytautas about this earlier and I
didn't know:

If we want to override the get() and set() functions for a new Octave
class, audioplayer in this case, do those functions have to exist as
m-files in a @audioplayer directory or can they be done in one or more
C++ oct-files?

You will need a get and set method defined in a @audioplayer directory, but they can be simple wrappers around some internal functions, which can then exist anywhere in octave path (even as an autoloaded function).
