showaudio(1) UNIX System V (Release 1) showaudio(1)
NAME
showaudio - Play an audio email message
SYNOPSIS
showaudiofile-name(s)
DESCRIPTION
The showaudio program will allow a user on a properly-
equipped workstation 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
documented here since the functionality is not generally
available.
SEE ALSO
audiocompose(1), audiosend(1), metamail(1)
BUGS
Currently plays audio only on Sun & Sony workstations.
