Soundsc()/Sound()/Wavplay() not working in Linux (Ubuntu 10.10) with MATLAB 2009b [closed]

Question

I'm typing the following in MATLAB:

aaa = wavread('test.wav');
soundsc(aaa);

I get the following error:

>> soundsc(aaa)
??? Error using ==> playsnd at 18
The requested audio format is not supported

Error in ==> sound at 58
playsnd(y,fs,bits);

Error in ==> soundsc at 48
sound(varargin{:})

Anyone else dealt with this issue before?

I found this: http://blog.carpente.es/implementacion-del-wavplay-del-matlab-de-windows-para-linux/

A blog in Spanish, but even so it is easy to understand the function what is doing
