how to play PCM sound file in Ubuntu?

linux, pcm

Solution

To use `ffplay` with signed 16-bit little endian raw PCM, specify `-f s16le`:

ffplay -f s16le -ar 16k -ac 1 snake.raw

For a stereo, 32-bit floating-point, little endian, 48 kHz file specify:

ffplay -f f32le -ar 48k -ac 2 snake.raw

For a list of supported formats for the `-f` option, use `ffplay -formats`. `-ar` is the sample rate and `-ac` is the number of channels.

Problem

I have a PCM sound file with sample rate 16000, sample bit 16 and channel 1. I want to play it , but there's no software can do. I also tried ffplay like : ``` ffplay -ar 16000 -ac 1 snake.raw ``` But still failed. How to play the PCM sound file in Ubuntu?
