Actually, there is a /usr/bin/showaudio. It is in the metamail package. Is that what you want? :) I wonder what exactly it is for though. It can play *.au files, but it seems it is intended to do more than that. (It is a sh script). Hope this helps. :) However, as Colin suggested, you might like to look at bplay, sox etc. sound software. :) (For MPEG audio files, splay and mpg123 are great! :) -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling [EMAIL PROTECTED] Civil Engineering http://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/ University of Alberta, Canada Keep smiling! *^_^* -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
