Maybe a difference in some software? I ran

Playing WAVE '/export/media/sounds/woow1.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 11025
Hz, Mono
and it worked.
That works for me too, but not in cron. Could you create a temporary personal
cron job with crontab -e which sets
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$(id -u)"
and runs
M H * * * aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Side_Left.wav
where M is the minute 0-59 and H is the hour 0-23. I shall do exactly the
same. Roger
In viewing the full header of the above message (to try to find which
country or timezone, is the origin of the message sent to the mailing
list, for an extraneous reason), I observed a weird thing, that makes me
wonder whether the mailing list and/or Debian, is, as is apparently
shown, connected to the infamous NSA.
"X-Message-Flag Supplemental report sent to reaper.nsa.gov. rc=0"
Could someone please clarify the apparent involvement of the NSA in this
mailing list?
Or, is the mailing list simply under surveillance by the NSA?
Thank you in anticipation.
