$ aplay pub/mi1.wav
Playing WAVE 'pub/mi1.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz,
Mono
$ aplay -D spdif pub/mi1.wav
Playing WAVE 'pub/mi1.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz,
Mono
aplay: set_params:837: Channels count non available
$

The first invocation plays the file, the second returns immediately with
the above message.
