showaudio - Play an audio email message
SYNOPSIS
showaudio file-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 meta
mail 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.
