Sound

Hello! 

This Emacs runs on an i810 (audio etcetera) chipset. This (Debian)
Emacs 21.3 refuses to play a 'wav' file. Stubborn!?

play-sound-file file.wav gives 'Could not set sound format'


But (for example) 
Welcome to the Emacs shell
~ $ play file.wav

works

Why!? Does Emacs handle sound by its own, bypassing the OS?

Thanks

Gijs
