First of all, do you have the same problem as a proper user?  You should
_never_ do daily stuff as root, and lots of distriutions have various
strangeness which tends to make running all but admin functions while
root.  This is a Good Thing.  If you disagree, well, you're wrong.  It's
just too easy to make a mess while logged in as root.

I wonder if the "~" isn't the problem here, precisely because you're
running as root.

And this one exisits, right?  If you issue 'which showaudio', do you get
"/usr/bin/showaudio"?

These are the places I'd start looking, anyway.
