I'm feeling a little embarrassed.  The file I was trying to test
everything was an .ogg file which had been encoded at 48khz.  The other
files I had tried were all mp3s. Aplay worked perfectly fine on the wav
file and that's when I realized the problem.  Thanks Fernando.

Now both Music Player and xmms claim to support mp3's but I can clearly
see that this is not the case.  What do you guys use to play mp3s?
