Comment (by Pete):

 Is anybody looking at this?  I've found out exactly why AIFF files sound
 like white noise, anyway.  The endianness of the samples is not
 recognized!  AIFF data is always big-endian, but ffmpeg seems to be
 assuming they are little-endian.  (AIFC files can be little-endian, and
 somewhere I read that these can sound like noise in a standard AIFF
 player, which led me to this realization.)

 After a bit of fiddling with sox, I generated an "AIFF" file with little-
 endian samples (attached), and MediaPlayer handles it just fine!

 Not sure where the fix now lies, but Ihope that's helpful.
