Thank you very much for the hint. It seems to work, but I don't understand how to specify the format of the output file. For example doing: aplay -D file:output foo.wav produces a raw data file named "output", and that's ok. But: aplay -D file:output.wav,wav foo.wav exits with error "ALSA lib pcm_file.c:479:(snd_pcm_file_open) file format wav is unknown aplay: main:484: audio open error: Invalid argument". Which formats are allowed and with what names?
