What version of aplay?

If it is version 1.1.6, you might be running
into this issue:

Subject: [PATCH] aplay: Fix invalid file size check for non-regular
files
Looks like you nailed it - so I will have to build my own I guess . .
Thanks!
P.
aplay tries to check the file size via fstat() at parsing the format
headers and avoids parsing when the size is shorter than the given
size. This works fine for regular files, but when a special file like
pipe is passed, it fails, eventually leading to the fallback mode
wrongly.
A proper fix is to do this sanity check only for a regular file.

People,
This produces a crashing static sound:
espeak --stdout 'words to speak' | aplay
but this works as expected:
espeak --stdout 'words to speak' > ./t
aplay ./t
What is wrong with the first command?
Thanks,
Phil.
