No showaudio that I know of under debian, but there is a playaudio that is
part of the mime-support package. If you have that installed, you'll find
it at /usr/lib/mime/playaudio. I have a symlink to it from /usr/local/bin
so that I can use it without the absolute path. However, it is nothing
like showaudio. It's just a simple script that cats a file to dev/audio
and therefore doesn't do any conversion. You may want to look at the bplay
package. Cheers.
