BTW: using files from

I ran "aplay -v ..."  and got the following,

>From looking at this aplay played this files as stereo (2 channel) --
which doesn't seem right.  Why would it do that?

It has a slightly different output when I do the following:

aplay -v -Dplug:iec958 SURROUNDTEST_011212.wav

notice the different rates....

Any ideas?
