You should tell us how you did this.

It seems you created a raw audio file. ffmpeg cannot detect it as such,
because it is raw, i.e. it has no headers or such to indicate its
format. You need to tell ffmpeg via the input file parameters (before
"-i" what type of file to expect. In your case, that should probably be
"-f s16le":

./ffmpeg -f s16le -i ~/file.raw -acodec mlp -b:a 18m -r 29.97 -strict unofficial -sample_fmt s16 ~/final.mlp

(Depending on what sort of file ~/file.raw actually is.)
