82 Yes. I sent the output in a previous post. I don't use aplay very
83 often, but I believe that the output it gave was the output it's
84 supposed to give on a working sound system, except that there was no
85 sound coming out of the speakers. I checked and the speakers are turned
86 on and plugged into the PC and I turned the volume all the way up before
87 running aplay and still didn't hear the wav file.
