.wav ?

hm.
is it critical for you to be able to play .wav?
it is after all in fact proprietary in nature .
As in ..."owned by microswift and IBM "
so getting the right to develop any software to run .wav has to go through them naturally.
Meaning...no one really wants to pay either or both of them money to use their format.

considering termux "is" terminal...
shouldn't CMUS or MOC run fine?
Normally fine ...I mean...
As in ..any of the other formats?
Both are more than adequate audio players...
there are others ...but those two are pretty decent...

update:

In fact ...come to think of it...
aplay most assuredly should play .wav ....through ALSA
but not pulse
Pulse is a No go.
No one is going to "fix" it.
This is Pulse's issue ..
Pulse's decision..
their dominion so to speak...

...and the state of Pulse and .wav has pretty much been this way for ...what...ever? ...I think...
It isn't about to get "fixed" ...since it was never broken to begin with...
since Pulseaudio doesn't run .wav

And yup...aplay should be running the .wav via ALSA
but...
not via Pulseaudio.
Pulseaudio in the mix just mucks things up for you.

the routing is not right ...(at least not right for running .wav)

I am sure there is some obscure freakin' weird ***** fix out there ...where you can run .wav through pulse ...but the brain tumour you will develop in trying to "fix" this so it runs through Pulse...may not be worth it.
