[arm-allstar] Script Question

[Doug Crompton]

What you ran into here is a big pet peave of Allstar which we are looking
into for a future version. The fact that telemetry queues can get very
mixed up.  Even playing one sound and then another right after can jumble
rather than playing in the proper order. It was a real trial and error to
get something like playnews to work properly with exact timing of sequences
and delays (sleep) statements. If you want to exactly time a sound file you
can get its status like this -

sox ARNstart.ul -n stat

Samples read:             23552
Length (seconds):      2.944000
Scaled by:         2147483647.0
Maximum amplitude:     0.605347
Minimum amplitude:    -0.488159
Midline amplitude:     0.058594
Mean    norm:          0.053144
Mean    amplitude:     0.012343
RMS     amplitude:     0.097638
Maximum delta:         0.366943
Minimum delta:         0.000000
Mean    delta:         0.023813
RMS     delta:         0.045954
Rough   frequency:          599
Volume adjustment:        1.652

The other option you have if you want to play two or more sounds from
different files is to combined them and play as one sound file. This is the
method used to play the weather in wx_condition.sh.
