[arm-allstar] Playing Newsline on Allstar Pi3

[Doug Crompton]

holdofftelem=0 ONLY needs to be in place on the node playing the news. The
reason for this is that there is no blocking on playing audio files in
Asterisk/Allstar. That is you play it and it goes into a buffer and you
have no control over knowing when it ends or even canceling it. The
playnews script gets around this by carefully timing the segments and using
delay (sleep) statements to ensure that nothing gets out of sync, If
telemetry (playing of the audio) was held off at any point due to a keyup
from anywhere it would screw up the sync. Having holdofftelem=0 avoids this.

Having holdofftelem=0 on a non-radio hub is not an issue as the only audio
heard from the hub to remote nodes would be global playback.
