The problem is in the MPEG ES demuxer that misdetects the file as its own format, and this prevents the correct demuxer to test the file. I forwarded the bug to the development mailing list to the mpeges demuxer mantainer.
The file works if you add -demuxer lavf to force the correct demuxer selection.

Is the file supposed to sound like a machine gun? Can you confirm that the file sounds ok if you force the demuxer selection?

Sample moved to samples/aiff

Yes, it sound like a machine gun, and works with forced demuxer.
