Err, 3906 Hz is not a sane playback frequency. Read this article for 
sane PCM properties:

I examined 2287.bfi and the correct sample rate is in there. You must 
have read the wrong offset.

Congratulations on your progress. BTW, if you want to feed anything to 
gdb, use 'ffmpeg_g'. That has debugging symbols. 'ffmpeg' is the 
stipped, "release" version of the same binary.

Check your main build directory. There is an ffmpeg binary there. Is 
there an ffplay binary there as well? If so, then use it as './ffplay 
<file.bfi>' and report a bug that it doesn't get installed.

However, I suspect ffplay is not there. That means it's not being built. 
That probably means you don't have SDL installed. Figure it out from there.

Another way to test if you are demuxing the sound correctly:

   ffmpeg -i <file.bfi> <file.wav>

Then play the WAV file with another media player.
