Whether .wav file play through 'aplay' is working fine for you?

At my side, I can hear only a beep tone. Please find the "bluetoothd 
-nd" log:

*Which is the SCORouting we need to give on the audio.conf, by default 
it is HCI?*


I do not have X server on my linux box, please suggest which are all the 
command line audio players I can use.

Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
Benjamin
