Check the sampling rate and encoding (compression). Standard .au
files are 8KHz mulaw encoding (a 16 to 8 bit logarithmic compression).
Some audio conversion tools put whatever they want into a file
(including non-compressed data and data at different sampling rates),
put a .au header on it and call it a .au file. These won't play on
older SPARC systems because they don't have the hardware to play
anything except the standard kind.
