What is the full path of the file you are trying to play, and how are
you communicating that path to Audacious?

For example:
I have a file named "Offenbach, Jacques - Can-Can.ogg " in the "Music"
subfolder of my home folder.  Hence, the full path to the file is
"/home/john/Music/Offenbach, Jacques - Can-Can.ogg".  To play this file,
I need to tell Audacious where to find it.

Option A:
I can open a terminal window in my home folder.  Then, I go to the
"Music" subfolder:

    $ cd Music

Then, I run:

    $ audacious "Offenbach, Jacques - Can-Can.ogg"

Because I am in the "Music" folder already, I don't need to tell
Audacious any more than the simple file name.

Option B:
I can open a terminal window in any folder in the filesystem.  Then, I run:

    $ audacious "/home/john/Music/Offenbach, Jacques - Can-Can.ogg"

Because I am not in the "Music" folder, I need to include the full path
to the file on the command line.

Which of these two options are you trying to do?
