It looks like maybe you are trying to run a powerpc executable? Is your
system using a powerpc CPU? (Like an old Mac) If not that might be your
problem.

It looks like there are "adplay" packages for ubuntu and fedora. If you
are using either of these distros maybe that might be the easiest route to
get this application working. I've never used it.

I never use 7zip unless I am copying some from the Windows world and I
need to uncompress it. (very rare for me) I tend to use gzip for my
compression needs.
