The AudioPCI card does not support .au files natively -- you get exactly the

.au files.

Did you try the various options to playmidi? Your error message sounds
familiar. I'm not sure whether I fixed the problem or ignored it because
the sound worked in Quake II (and that's all that counts anyway).
