[App_rpt-users] Play two audio files back to back

[David McGough]

I think the playback command only takes a single audio filename.


Try this approach:

cat /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/tide.gsm > /tmp/temp.gsm
cat /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/times.gsm >> /tmp/temp.gsm
cat /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/will-expire.gsm >> /tmp/temp.gsm
cat /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/at-any-time.gsm >> /tmp/temp.gsm

asterisk -rx "rpt playback $node /tmp/temp"

rm -f /tmp/temp.gsm


Note that once these audio segments are cat'ed together, a final call to
sox can be used to change levels, formats, etc., if needed.
