It's an infinite loop. Repeatedly pressing CTRL-C should stop it or
else killing the bash process from another terminal.

Well Control C is one of the first things I try, perhaps I should have
kept trying longer? When I found no remedy in my notes I was beaten and
had to reboot.
However aplay will not work after that episode. I can see the audio
signal with the pulseaudio meter bar and Thunderbird still signals
received mail via aplay, but other things where I used it produce no
sound in the loudspeaker. Aplay in a terminal produces no sound, so I
guess the loop still runs and audio is being muted from it. Nothing I
tried in PAvolume restored it, I will try anything suggested now.
