Version? 
Starting in version 9, setting audit_sys_operations to true will
output the info to the audit_dest directory for SYS.  (Hopefully user
SYS is not being used unless critical.  The SYS user does not seem to
show up in the audit trail at all, so audit_sys_operations is the only
way I know to capture this.)

For users other than sys . . .

Pete Finnigan's "Oracle Security Step-by-Step" says 
   protect the audit trail with AUDIT ALL ON SYS$AUD$ BY ACCESS;

I issued this AUDIT ALL audit command in my 9.2.0.4 database, and as
user BARB (who was granted dba role) I tried
   selecting from the audit trail
   changing an audit parameter

The select from this user shows up in the audit trail.  The change
does not.  I find this very odd.  I tried "audit trigger", and "audit
delete on schema.table" as user BARB.  I would assume that changing
the audit parameter would be an update to the AUD$ table.  But the
audit trail does not show this update.

Anyone know why not??
