showaudio(1)showaudio(1)NAMEshowaudio - Play an audio email message
SYNOPSISshowaudiofile-name(s)DESCRIPTION
The showaudio program will allow a user on a properly-equipped worksta‐
tion to listen to an audio message. It is intended to be called from
mailcap files, typically by the metamail(1) program.
At most sites, it will work by playing audio on the speaker of the
user's computer. When used in conjunction with special hardware and
software not part of the metamail distribution, however, it can also
deliver the audio information by telephone number. There are various
options to showaudio that support this feature, but they are not docu‐
mented here since the functionality is not generally available.
SEE ALSOaudiocompose(1), audiosend(1), metamail(1)BUGS
Currently plays audio only on Sun & Sony workstations.
