Sound Card - Line-Out

[TomS]

I would like to record a message using an extension into a file on PiaF.
I would then like to have the message played over-and-over again through the Line-Out on the sound card.
Has anyone tried something like this?

Recording the message should be straight forward using the FreePBX screens: System Recordings
This will save the file in the /usr/lib/asterisk/sounds/custom directory.
I recorded a file called Tom-Loop.wav with no problem at all.
I know I will have to create a shell script to read it over-and-over again.

I need to know what the output device should be:
Can the output from the .wav file be cat'ed to the device out or do I have to use a player (not sure what is available inn PiaF)?

while true
do
some audio player > output device name
sleep 10
done

Thanks
TomS

Why are you doing this on PIAF? I'm pretty sure that there's a piece of hardware that will do this. Off the top of my head, I am thinking mpg123. That should work for you. Audio devices are usually like /dev/audio1 or something like that.
I, personally, wouldn't want to burden a PIAF with looping an audio recording.

You don't even have to redirect it's output.
