Is it possible to attach audio files to a post. I've looked at the manage attachments applet and don't see any audio extensions i.e. *.wav, *.mp3, *.wma.

We can enable .wav files is but they're extremely bandwidth hungry around 1.6MB for 10 seconds.
.mp3 and wma need a hack and would raise ethical problems with copyright etc.
Why do you think we need audio????
Come up with a really, really, valid reason for having audio on here and I'll think about it. However bare in mind that audio could be a bigger problem than anything else on here, especially with people who like to mouth off and find they con use audio to spew forth their venom into a post. :o

if you do put audio in Neil, please make it so those of us who don't want it can turn it off.
