No chance. :)

Audispd does not link against the audit parsing library nor has a concept of a 
full event - it just distributes what it has. If the configuration option is 
to send string data to plugins, it does convert the type number to a string 
value by a lookup function in libaudit, but that's full extent of it doing 
anything to the event its passing along.
