Thanks. I'm not a Gnome user but I'll see if I can get it running on KDE.

Konqueror has only thumbnails. Dolphin does have preview in the
Information sidepanel, but it is a pain to get over there, especially
as I have single-click enabled. I have filed some feature requests,
but nothing came of them:

Small sound file preview / playback on middle-click

Mouseover preview for sound / movie files
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207729

Nautilus doesn't play audio files on hover for me, but I'm on version
2.28.1. I will take a look at later builds. Thanks!
