	I'm not sure, but there is a format of .wav files (MS RIFF ADPCM
format, or something), which earlier versions of sox could not
handle. The version on this Debian 2.1 box (12.15-1) does seem to be
able to handle it, but the one that shipped with Debian 2.0 wouldn't
play the samples. Maybe you could try upgrading sox  ?

	Also, if it is a .au file, try cat'ting  it straight to
/dev/audio (provided you have the permission, of course). Should work.
