It has to be one of the following formats, from man aplay.
-t, --file-type TYPE
File type (voc, wav, raw or au). If this parameter is
omitted the WAVE format is used.
These days, that pretty much means wav.
Considering that it tried playing their mp3 (badly) instead of aborting
on an unknown file type. I wonder if aplay presumes raw if doesn't
find header info for the few formats that it does understand?
I just tried "aplay"-ing the output of dmesg, it looks like it does:
[tim@fluffy ~]$ aplay dmesg.text
Playing raw data 'dmesg.text' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
It sounded like my old 33k modem trying to connect up. ;-) I'm going
to keep that file around, now, if I ever want to prank someone.
