[asterisk-users] Looped message playback

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

Depending on the format of your audio file, you could generate a 
one-second sample of audio and then something like the following
------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
NUM=$1
CUR=0

rm -f bigtonefile;

[ $CUR != $NUM ] && {
	cat tonefile >> bigtonefile;
	CUR = $CUR+1;
}
------------------------------------------------
System(generator 7)
Then Playback(bigtonefile) ; for seven seconds of audio

You could use half-second tones or less if you wanted finer granularity.

Just a suggestion, think outside the box, they say :)
