AU Audio Test

This is a test sound . If you can not play it, you need to install a player:

• UNIX:

  add the following viewer entry to your mailcap file:
  

  audio/basic; showaudio   %s
  

  where showaudio is one of many AU audio players.
  

  For Sun systems, you can also use xplay.
  

  For Solaris users, this tip comes from Nigel Badnell:

  When using xplay with Solaris, users will need a little more detail in their mailcap file:

  audio/x-wav; xplay  -; stream-buffer-size=8000   %s
  

  
  
  
  

• PCs:

  To set up the AU player, enter the following into the HelperApplication or ExternalViewer dialog box in your Web Browser:
  
  

  MIME type / subtype	audio/basic
  extensions	au
  application	wplany

  where wplany or wham are some of the many AU sound players.
  
  You may quickly get a copy of wplny12a.zip or wham133.zip for Windows. Note that these copies may not be as recent as the previous references however.

  Note that you may need to supply the complete path to the application. Also, some browsers need a '.' preceeding the extensions entry.
  
  
  

• Mac:

  To set up the AU player, enter the following into the HelperApplication or ExternalViewer dialog box in your Web Browser:
  
  

  MIME type / subtype	audio/basic
  extensions	au
  application	soundapp

  Note that you will use the Browse button to find the location the application on your disk. Also, some browsers need a '.' preceeding the extensions entry.

  There are several Mac based AU audio players available from nctuccca. You may quickly get a copy of soundapp1.5.cpt.hqx for the Macintosh. Note that this copy may not be as recent as the previous reference however.
