Why won't XMMS play .au files?

    I'm running the xmms 1.2.10-1 package.

    $ apt-cache show xmms
    ...
     It's able to read and play:
      * Audio MPEG layer 1, 2, and 3 (with mpg123 plug-in),
      * WAV, RAW, AU (with internal wav plug-in and MikMod plug-in),
    ...

    When I run XMMS the audio input plugin includes the following:
      MikMod Player 1.2.10 [libmikmod.so]
      Wave Player 1.2.10 [libwav.so]

    But it will *not* play any of these files:

    $ file *.au
    foo1.au: Sun/NeXT audio data: 16-bit linear PCM, stereo, 44100 Hz
    foo.au: Sun/NeXT audio data: 16-bit linear PCM, mono, 22050 Hz
    vsound4090.au: Sun/NeXT audio data: 16-bit linear PCM, mono, 22050 Hz

    Any idea why not?
