Bonjour Debbie !
I've listened to the sentence you're referring to, and it is pronounced [va au]", albeit pretty fast (French native way!), so I understand the confusion here.
You are correct that we wouldn't say [v-au] in French :)
I've therefore decided to update our audio file.
Please let me know if it's better, or I will look into it again :)
Merci et à bientôt !

This relates to:
À + le = au, à + les = aux, de + le = du, de + les = des (contractions of articles) -
