Actually /dev/audio doesn't know anything about .au format. Most (older) .au files just happen to be recorded using the right format (because it was the only format possible with oldest Sparc machines). However there are lot of .au files that don't play properly when catting them to /dev/audio. So the proper solution for .au files too is using a player program that understand the format.
