Barks audibly for some material (5)

I believe the answer is:

baize

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for some material' is the definition.
(baize is a kind of material)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for baize that I've seen before include "Snooker table surface" , "Green woollen cloth" , "Billiards cloth" , "On which one skis" , "Billiards surface" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
