Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
- Load emacs -Q
- Create a valid .au file in a string (it's easier than .wav):
(setq mysound (concat ".snd" ; magic number
"\0\0\0\30" ; sound offset 0x18
"\0\0\0\1" ; sound length 1 byte
"\0\0\0\2" ; encoding 8-bit PCM
"\0\0\37@" ; sampling rate 8kHZ
"\0\0\0\1" ; 1 channel (mono)
"x")) ; some random "sound"
- check if the string is really unibyte, as it should:
(multibyte-string-p mysound)
=> nil
- play it
(play-sound `(sound :data ,mysound))
=> (error "Invalid sound specification")
- write it to a file
(with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect "~/mysound-tmp.au")
(delete-region (point-min) (point-max))
(insert mysound)
(save-buffer 0)
(kill-buffer nil))
- Playing it from there does not produce any error, but not sound either
(should produce a short click sound; tested with other players).
(play-sound '(sound :file "~/mysound-tmp.au"))
- Other .au (and .wav) files play just fine, but no longer if I put them
into a string.

OK, I'm closing this, as the documentation is fixed, and the other
reported problem seems not to be a bug (or, at least, not an Emacs
bug).
