What does the more simple command line program "play" return.

I have seen play be vocal about files it cannot decode.  

For example I have a file: ..../newmail/sounds/Notify.wav
At the command line I do:

   play  ..../newmail/sounds/Notify.wav

and I see:

   .../newmail/sounds/Notify.wav: Sorry, this WAV file is in MPEG Layer 3 format.

Since I do not have a MPEG Layer 3 plugin right now this makes sense.

The point is that the suffix is .wav but it it mp3

File is also useful for many file types:
   file ..../newmail/sounds/Notify.wav
   ..../newmail/sounds/Notify.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, MPEG Layer 3, mono 11025 Hz

Regards.
