There seems to be a difference between the WAV files created by
fluidsynth1 and fluisdynth2. Specifically, I'm getting an error when I
try to play a fluidsynth2 WAV file. This is on Ubuntu 18.04
$ fluidsynth -F AScore.wav /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2
AScore.midi
FluidSynth runtime version 2.0.8

$ play AScore.wav
play FAIL formats: can't open input file `AScore.wav': WAVE: RIFF
header not found
whereas SoX's play command will play the equivalent WAV created by
fluidsynth1:
$ /usr/bin/fluidsynth -F AScore.wav
/usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 AScore.midi
FluidSynth version 1.1.9

matt@ocinara:~/Music/Matt/NightRideHome$ play AScore.wav
AScore.wav:
File Size: 3.53M Bit Rate: 1.41M
Encoding: Signed PCM
Channels: 2 @ 16-bit
Samplerate: 44100Hz
... etc ...
SoX seems to complain about 'RIFF header not found'. If this is
genuinely something that 's missing from the fluidsynth2 WAV, is there a
way to put it back? Or is the problem with SoX?
BTW:
$ play --version
play: SoX v14.4.2
