At the unix shell prompt, this is an example to make my test system (1234) say my call sign phonetically.

cat /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/this.gsm /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/is.gsm /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/w_p.gsm /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/b_p.gsm /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/digits/9.gsm /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/u_p.gsm /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/u_p.gsm /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/s_p.gsm /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/repeater.gsm > /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/wb9uus-repeater.gsm

asterisk -vvvvr -x "rpt localplay 1234 /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/wb9uus-repeater"

This also works with ulaw files like this....

cat /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/this.ulaw /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/is.ulaw /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/w_p.ulaw /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/b_p.ulaw /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/digits/9.ulaw /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/u_p.ulaw /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/u_p.ulaw /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/s_p.ulaw /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/repeater.ulaw > /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/wb9uus-repeater-u.ulaw

asterisk -vvvvr -x "rpt localplay 1234 /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/wb9uus-repeater-u"

I don't know if it works with other formats of audio files.

And yes, the full path is optional under some circumstances, depending on where the files are and what your current directory is, but is given here to avoid ambiguity.

I have a question about playing sounds locally. When I play a sound -

WA3DSP_Allstar*CLI> rpt localplay 27225 /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/repeater
[Nov 11 01:11:25] NOTICE[9032]: app_rpt.c:8502 wait_interval: Delay interval = 2000

-- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-560835011'

There is a delay inserted and of course this has to keyup and unkey the radio.

If one wants to formulate a sentence with a series of asterisk sounds (from the sound directory) and send them over the radio how would that be done as one complete series without delays or unkeys?
