seconds.msec:serial number

The seconds can be converted with ctime().

This is not a message type, its just the unique time stamp for the event.

You would use the autrace program. After running it, it will tell you what 
ausearch command to run to see the results. The output will not be formatted 
like strace, but it contains the information.

If you are writing a program that analyzes the audit data, I'd recommend using 
the auparse library to do all your parsing and data interpretation.
