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. 73 Ken

The only problem with playing a long file continuously like this (for instance, using asterisk -rx "rpt localplay 2331 foo"
is that the repeater won't ID until the file finishes playing. Forcing an ID to play also doesn't seem to accomplish the desired result.
At least, that's what happens on my system.
Of course, once the file finishes, the ID fires, but for a file that's longer than 10 minutes, this could really be a problem.so.you'll probably want to break the file up anyway.

You might want to look at mp3splt to cut it up into manageable chunks.
Unless you turn the TX time out off, you're going need to drop PTT now and then to reset the timer.

Another possibility is to use a script to put the machine in "bulletin mode" where the time out timer is disabled or at least set to a long time. The same script turns the TOT back on again at the end (so you don't forget). 73 Ken
