Hi. Can somebody tell me which program they use to play Mosaic audio,
and where to find it? Thanks.

By default, Mosaic-2.2 wants to use "showaudio". Someone else
recently suggested that it's sufficient to use the script:

#!/bin/sh
cat $1 >/dev/audio

and that works fine for me. Evidently the *real* showaudio is
distributed as a part of the Metamail package.

The Mosaic-2.2 CHANGES file is my source for most of this information.
It also give the X11 resource for changing this default:

o audioPlayerCommand (default 'showaudio' from Metamail
distribution)

but I haven't tried that.
