>> I think it'll be something like aus-low-zen - "au" pronounced like "ow" <<
No, it's not. And if your dialect of English has pre-fortis clipping, you will mispronounce the "ow". Also it's ö, not "o". And if it were "o", it wouldn't be pronounced like English "o", unless you are from Minnesota or Ireland. Most dialects of English have a strongly diphthongal o sound. In German, it's a monophthong.
