 Hello,

 I use to listen to my voice mail, via mplayer and seamonkey.
 I setup mplayer to play voice-message.wav and it (use to)
 worked beautifully.

 Now I cannot get it to work. Any suggestion as to a simple app.
 I can set up as a helper application in seamonkey to play .wav
 files?

 The file command tells me this about the voice-message.wav file
 sent to me from vonage:

 file voice-message.wav
 voice-message.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio,
 ITU G.711 mu-law, mono 8000 Hz

 ideas?

I also have Vonage and use Seamonkey and everything is working okay
for me. I'm using the gecko-mediaplayer plugin, but opening with
gmplayer or something works too.

 and some don't, like my voice mails:
 (aplay voice-message.wav
 aplay: test_wavefile:782: can't play WAVE-file 
 format 0x0007 which is not PCM or FLOAT encoded)
 Not sure if this matters...?
 
Have you tried aplay with manually specified format options?

aplay -f MU_LAW -c1 -r8000 -t wav voice-message.wav 

Is it possible that the wav files are corrupted? (Do you have just one
sample or multiple?)

I would have thought that mplayer is a bit of an overkill for playing .wav, 
have you tried /usr/bin/aplay?
