That's why I reluctantly -performance penalty- gave a rule for ./.htaccess
replacing the firts foldername by '../audio'

From your previous post I assumed public_html to be your document root and
to have the same parent folder as audio. -Rather unsuprising given some
suggestions in your other thread about mp3-
Document root is then assummed -unsure though- to be the current working
directory for audio.php. Alltogether that's why the file parameter starts
.../audio.

Still I do think, though did not test,
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/(.*\.mp3)$
audio.php?op=serveaudio&file=%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/../audio/$1
will handle a request like
/whatever/classic/mozart/5thsymphony.mp3
to stream
/audio/classic/mozart/5thsymphony.mp3
