The reason that you got the above result seems to be that it appears as
if you attempted to invoke the .wav file as a program, it is not, it
needs to be invokes as an argument to the 'play' command.
Here is what I get invoking it:
$ play /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav
Input Filename : /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav
Sample Size : 16-bits
Sample Encoding: signed (2's complement)
Channels : 2
Sample Rate : 44100
Time: 00:06.92 [00:00.00] of 00:06.91 ( 100.1%) Output Buffer: 305.15K
Done.

Actually, most flamewars are caused by Vim being much worse than Emacs.
