[Asterisk-Users] Multiple announcements in a queue ??

[Steve Feinstein]

I was thinking of a script that just copied a 
different/random/sequential audio file to it's stdout everytime it was 
called.  Name the pipe with a .gsm (or whatever format you use) 
extension.  And tell asterisk to use the pipe instead of a static file.  
I think in theory it should work.  I'm not sure if there'll be blocking 
issues should the script fail.  But it's something to think about.
