Bug#383436: bplay: Can't play back WAV file

 sam$ bplay dreamhost-angry2.wav 
 bplay: input is not a PCM WAV file
 sam$ file dreamhost-angry2.wav
 dreamhost-angry2.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, IMA ADPCM, mono 
 8000 Hz

Indeed ... there are a lot of formats of wav files, bplay doesn't
handle a very big range of them.  It only plays PCM-format data, it
does not contain any other codecs like ADPCM.

(Your ADPCM sample file is a pretty funny message, by the way.)

How did you end up playing back the file btw?

It's very embarrassing not to be able to playback a WAV file on Debian
system.
