It might surprise you but yes :)

If you have read man aplay to the end you would have found following

aplay -c 1 -t raw -r 22050 -f mu_law foobar
              will play the raw file "foobar" as a 22050-Hz, mono, 8-bit,
Mu-Law .au file.

Adjusting it a bit to my setup (-Ddefault) produces following with sound

$ aplay -Ddefault -c 1 -t raw -r 22050 -f
mu_law /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Side_Left.wav
Warning: format is changed to S16_LE
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Side_Left.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little
Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono

I use default because pulseaudio is hooked at the alsa device
