"-ac 2" probably forces ffprobe to assume that the *input* has two
channels, which apparently isn't supported.

Did you read Carl Eugen's suggestion to try "-af aresample=ocl=stereo"?

I believe it's SDL which has the ALSA implementation, ffplay only uses
the SDL API. (I may be wrong though.)

ffplay is sort of minimalistic feature-wise. Do you definitely need
ffplay? Do you have access to mpv?

Thanks Moritz!    Using "-af aresample=ocl=stereo" resolved my issue and now the sound works great.  Sorry, somehow I totally missed Carl Eugen's suggestion to try it.  I searched through all the replies to my thread and I still can't find it but regardless it was the answer, so thank you very much for pointing it out and a big thanks to Carl Eugen for the correct answer to my problem.
I've been hoping to use ffplay because of its quick startup time and low footprint.  I had been using MPlayer since 2000 but wasn't aware of the MPV fork.  I'll have to check it out, but for now I'm quite pleased that ffplay is working.
Many thanks again to you and Carl for the assistance.  :)

Patrick.
