Your example produces:

$ tar tfvz audio_1.1.0.orig.tar.gz
drwxr-xr-x sh/sh             0 2008-02-16 11:35 audio-1.1.0/
drwxr-xr-x sh/sh             0 2008-02-16 11:35 audio-1.1.0/src/
-rw-r--r-- sh/sh          2326 2008-02-16 11:14 audio-1.1.0/src/OFSndPlay.cc
-rw-r--r-- sh/sh          9576 2008-02-16 11:14 audio-1.1.0/src/configure.base
-rwxr-xr-x sh/sh        133860 2008-02-16 11:34 audio-1.1.0/src/configure
[snip]

But what we need is actually this:

$ tar tfvz audio_1.1.0.orig.tar.gz
drwxr-xr-x sh/sh            0 2008-02-28 15:19 audio-1.1.0/
-rw-r--r-- sh/sh       127987 2008-02-28 15:19 audio-1.1.0/audio-1.1.0.tar.gz
