Do:

    apt-get install mpv

The point here is that "aplay -l" finds different devices and we try to
put some sounds directly to those devices. There are higher-level tools
for configuring audio but low-level tests are pretty good starting
point and good for understanding basics.

Executable files are usually in /usr/bin, so:

    $ apt-file search /usr/bin/mpv
    mpv: /usr/bin/mpv

Meaning that package mpv has the file /usr/bin/mpv.
