[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#281880: alsa-utils: Should refuse to play files he can't play, like ogg

[Leonardo Pistone]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.6-4
Severity: minor

I don't like that, when one tries to do "aplay file.ogg", instead of
saying "Hey, I
can't play ogg's, use ie alsaplayer", he interprets it as raw data,
driving my headphones
crazy.
