Well, either aplay or the documentation should be fixed. Thanks for the hint.

Well, I'd like to discover why it is that at least two different programs that rely on ALSA cannot play mu-law files.

One way to debug this would be to make certain that Alsa can indeed play mulaw files on my system. I would like to create an ALSA plugin mulawplayer so I can give the command:

cat mulaw.wav | aplay -Dmulawplayer

and have it work.
