[arm-allstar] node callsign script

[Patrick Perdue]

My first comment is that a lot of this would be better with a faster 
voice than Allison. I'm working on this. I've generated a few voice 
packs, just need to get them in an easily distributed format. That's a 
job for when I get back home in a couple of weeks.

Secondly, I would personally have all messages like that disabled in a 
repeater situation, but you could possibly do what you are looking for 
re beeps. Note that I haven't tested this, and what I am about to write 
could be completely misleading and totally inaccurate. People who know 
more about this, feel free to correct as necessary. And, also, there are 
probably better ways of doing this even if it does work, such as 
invoking Asterisk's tone generator, which I don't know how to do in this 
context, or perhaps a way to invoke this function without going outside 
of Asterisk and back in again, but it's an idea, anyway.

In rpt.conf, With telemdefault set to 2 (or possibly 0, not sure about 
this,) add this to the stanza for your node.

connpgm=/usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt localplay <Your_Node_Number> 
/etc/asterisk/local/connect_sound"

disconpgm=/usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt localplay <Your_Node_Number> 
/etc/asterisk/local/disconnect_sound"

and generate appropriately formatted (ULAW) files for Asterisk to play 
when a node connects or disconnects from your node. You can create 
sounds with any audio editor/tone generator, save as mono wav, then 
convert using the convert_audio.sh script on hamvoip. Theoretically, the 
sampling rate won't matter too much, as SoX takes care of all that in 
the conversion process. If you would like me to generate tones for you, 
let me know.

This will not propagate to the network. The sounds will only play on the 
radio connected to the local node.
