Sure, depending on just how large/complex the sound file is.
For instance, you could play back a simple sequence of tones several minutes
long, but it might be impossible to play back more than a fraction of a
second of voice-type sound. Just what do you have in mind?

Would that be 1.61 kilobytes, Natacha? That's a very big file for a Stamp.
The memory available is different on different models, but BS2 for example
has only 2 kilobytes total and that has to handle the program as well.
More important, I suspect that 1.6 kb is a file in some standard format,
like a WAV file. It's not impossible, but I've never heard of code to play
back a WAV file -- or any standard audio file format on a Stamp. What you
would need to do is add one of the special chips programmed for that
purpose. Then you load the audio file on that chip with the memory it
provides.
Without that, I think you'll be limited to writing your own little tune
using the simple tones a Stamp can generate with the FREQOUT command. If you
have musical ability that can be pretty impressive. It's just a lot of work
to prepare the notes.

I'm sure you can make something work with FREQOUT. I remember a popular line
of greeting cards that used a similar technique to play "Happy Birthday" and
other tunes from a very small chip glued into the card.

Parallax offers several audio add-on units for the Stamp. Check:

It just calls for creativity. Good luck,
