[App_rpt-users] more on bulletin playback

[Ken]

I am using politeid 
http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/128
and idtime as well.

It seems to play a cw id right over the recording, without problems, and
without any need to drop the carrier.

But I always insert a voice ID every 10 minutes, or less, into the recording
file anyway - usually in the place provided by the recording context. 

I also have a DTMF function where any user can stop the playback, if he
needs to.  I advertise this function periodically in tail messages.
