FVWM: Help with FvwmEvent

I am switching from FvwmAudio to FvwmEvent. FvwmAudio worked briefly but after
reading through the man pages, FvwmEvent is the newer replacement, I decided to
go with FvwmEvent. I followed the instructions in the man page for FvwmEvent.
My .fvwm2rc entries are:

AddToFunc "InitFunction"
+ "I" Module FvwmEvent

AddToFunc "RestartFunction"
+ "I" Module FvwmEvent

DestroyMenu "Module-Popup"
AddToMenu "Module-Popup"
+ "Event (aka Audio)" Module FvwmEvent

# Audio Sounds
*FvwmEventCmd builtin-rplay
*FvwmEventDelay 1
*FvwmEvent startup /usr/share/sounds/start.wav
*FvwmEvent shutdown /usr/share/sounds/stop.wav

This configuration is not doing anything. Most puzzling for now is, how
does FvwmEvent know the location of the sound files? Is FvwmEvent limited
to AU files only? Does it play WAV files? I have explicitly mentioned the
sound files path and yet it does not work. What modifications do I need to
make to make FvwmEvent work?

TIA.
