I did as I usually do with .au-files, "cat <file> > /dev/audio". Frantic
search for .au-players lead to nothing as well (several players, none
that tackled 'em)...

I have wavs of them now that can be played in xwave(1) or play(1) (but
they're still not cattable). The size-differences are negligible so I'd
say the ppl that made the .au's copped out :) Ask for 'em and you'll get
'em.
