I suggest you to use cordova.file.externalDataDirectory then you can find your sound file on the phone under Android/data/yourapplication/files folder.

this.filePath = cordova.file.externalDataDirectory;

this.mediaPlugin = new MediaPlugin(this.filePath + this.directoryName + "/" + this.actualAudioFileName);

You can start a playback with the following code, after you already recorded one

this.mediaPlugin.play();

Check this pretty good tutorial.

Edit: Here you can check path of directories, if you want to create a cross platform application
