you get static because aplay doesn't handle anything except regular PCM data. compressed file formats like FLAC are recognized as "raw data" and it just guesses a sample rate and data format, which naturally are all wrong. find a PCM file (something.wav) and try that.

So I tried

miniG4:~$
and got static. Which is a huge improvement! At least I'm getting sound, now.
Clemens, I appreciate all your interest and support.
As I stated originally, the man at the local stereo shop duplicated my environment, albeit on slightly different hardware (macbook G4 vs mini G4). His is working. What differences should I be looking at?
