Opps, you need to change that IFS= line. Use this
instead:
cut
--------------
#!/bin/bash
files='*.au'
#Changing the IFS allows for spaces in filenames
#This normally would screw up bash word spliting
#so it is inclosed in () to limit it to this loop
#in the script.
(IFS='
'
for sound in `find -name "$files" -print|sort`
do echo $sound;
cat $sound >/dev/audio;
done
)
---------------
cut
