Not offhand, no, but now that I've tried it I can definitely verify
that it works fine. And doing that pointed out the builtin way to play
.au sounds. I suppose it also works with .aiff files, but I haven't
tried that way yet.

I'm liking the Ubuntu/RR combination more and more as I go along,
although I still think I'll wipe this all out someday soon and install
Kubuntu, since I really prefer the KDE shell to Gnome.
