The showaudio command likes .au files. You may have a few on your disk, and you don't know it. Try the command: locate "*.au" If you find one, run showaudio on it. If it plays, you're set. If not, we'll need to go from there. It'll play on the PC speaker if it's hooked up to your soundcard ;) And the one in mm is the same showaudio. Although I ususally install mm, move showaudio out of /usr/local/bin, and remove mm then move showaudio back. There is very little in mm that I actually use, besides showaudio.
