My Audrey Files

playsound_noph

Playsound_noph is a command line application (QNX 6.0) for playing wav files. The original binary in the 6.0 distribution would not work non interactively so I re-compiled to work in the background. In my case, I'm using Mister House to push a wav file to my Audreys for remote caller id "announcements" by way of Audrey's built in web server (Slinger) and a .shtml file.

Place playsound_noph in /nto/photon/bin/ and soundfile_noph.so (required) in /nto/photon/dll/.

Usage: playsound_noph wavefile.wav
Files:  playsound_noph-1.0kbw.zip

I also included test1.shtml as an example of push/pulling a wav file to the Audrey.  Place in your document root on your target Audrey and run by http://your.audrey/test1.shtml to play local or remote wav files.
