Summary:                    [patch] periodic-announce-frequency suggestion
Description: 
periodic-announce-frequency is caluclated from the start of the
anouncement. So it is effectivly the delay between the start of the last
anouncement and the start of the next annoucement. For a small value (e.g.
20 seconds) and the  longish anouncement (e.g. 15 seconds), then there is a
very short pause between announcements.

If one extends the example to include multiple varying length
anouncements, you get situations where one anouncement runs into the other
as the anouncement length is sometimes greater than the
periodic-announce-frequency. One has to work out the length of the longest
anouncement and make sure that periodic-announce-frequency is a few seconds
longer than that. If the announcements are changed, the process needs to be
repeated.

It would be be more logical to have periodic-announce-frequency be the
delay between the end of the last anouncement and the begining of the next
anouncement. In this way setting periodic-announce-frequency to 15 would
give a constant 15 second delay between each of the announcements.
