System name:		m4-167-2
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 7.7K
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
Load .au files from Mosaic

What's wrong:
No sound. 
Error message received:

audioconvert: /tmp/ebaa003V..au has a file header, ignoring -i ...
audioplay: (stdin) audio encoding type not available
audioconvert: Error writing to output file (stdout) (Broken pipe)


What should have happened:
Audio should have been played.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
This occured on m4-167-8 as well.
From prior experience, it seems someone has manually hacked the machine to
disable the audio functions.
