Hello, I live in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. My first language is German and I studied English at school. At university I studied a variety of sciences and technologies before settling on electrical engineering. My specialization was in robotics but I work in the telecommunications industry. Different cultures and societies have interested me greatly. That, coupled with my love of rock climbing, has led to me traveling to such countries as South Africa, Argentina, Chile, Slovakia, Germany, France, Spain and Italy.

    Slight correction is needed. "The audio file is only four minutes long and seems to be broken". From your description this is what you are trying to say "The audio file seems to be broken as it is only four minutes long yet should be..... minutes" or "The audio file seems to be broken as it is only four minutes long yet should be..... minutes in length"

    A: You will buy a round of drinks. I have only ever heard it as, "I'll get this round." "I've got this round." B: Just a common toast like: На здоровье , Skål , Prosit. Outside of the pub it refers to the encouragement from a group. The crowd cheers for their favorite team. You can hear the cheers from the crowd.

    This is a slang expression. It means you have done something extremely amusing. People will also use the phase, "You kill me."

    I'm assuming you mean anyone and anybody. There is really no difference between them. Both mean any person. Anyone is slightly more formal but it is subtle. The adjective phrases, "Any one..." or "Any body...." are different. "Any one ..." , is meant to single out specific items from a group. " Any one of these cells could contain a virus." "Any body ..", is meant to single out a dead, human bodies from a group. " Any body that has the rash must be sent to the CDC ." One exception would be, "Any body of water ...". "Anybody/anyone that has the rash must be sent to the CDC ", refers to living individuals "Any body that has the rash must be sent to the CDC ", refers to deceased individuals. There are more subtleties and exceptions but this covers the majority of cases. Hope that helps.
