Analytic expressions for the direct, resonant, and interference contributions to the differential cross section of a resonant Auger process, produced by the inner-shell photoionization of a linear molecule either 'fixed in space' or belonging to a gas of randomly oriented molecules, have been derived following Dill's procedures [Dill et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 45, 1393 (1980)], but going beyond the two-step approximation. Angle-resolved Auger spectra of the C{sub 2}H{sub 2} molecule measured on top of the C 1s{yields}{pi}* resonance [Kivimaeki et al., J. Phys. B 30, 4279 (1997)] have been calculated together with asymmetry parameters, analyzing also the different contributions to the electron angular distributions.
