NAME
       showaudio - Play an audio email message

SYNOPSIS
       showaudio  file-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 ALSO
       audiocompose(1), audiosend(1), metamail(1)

BUGS
       Currently plays audio only on Sun & Sony workstations.
