I'm afraid you are missing a few essential services (which ones exactly
depends on the platform you are running Genode on).

The currently used raw format is simply stereo float32 with a sample
rate of 44.1kHz. Amongst others, this information can be obtained by
looking at the 'os/include/audio_out_session/audio_out_session.h'
header file.

As mentioned in 'dde_oss/README' you can create a usable raw audio file
from a given audio file by yourself by execuing 'sox(1)':

  'sox -c 2 -r 44100 foo.mp3 foo.f32'

I have attached a working runscript that can be used to play such a file
on Linux as well as on e.g. NOVA by using dde_oss. (Note, that Using
Qemu's ICH driver results in some what disorted sound which is a known
issue.)

Cheers
Josef
