showaudio - Play an audio email message
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.
audiocompose(1), audiosend(1), metamail(1)
Currently plays audio only on Sun & Sony workstations.
