[arm-allstar] Play Message on local unkey out locally and over the network link to other nodes

[Patrick Perdue]

Not quite.

A playback command will be heard by *all* connected nodes, regardless of 
telemetry settings on remote nodes. The requirement here is that the 
node playing the file needs to be in a duplex mode other than 0. 
telemdefault is not relevant in this context. telemdefault=0 and 
duplex=1 will still play files to all nodes if the playback command is used.

If you have holdofftelem=1, which is the default, and a playback command 
is issued, then the file won't play until nothing is keying toward the 
node. The only time this may become a problem is if someone is dropping 
packets when a scheduled event occurs, and the length of a dropout 
exceeds the length of telemwait, as defined in your node's stanza for 
rpt.conf.

You could tie a playback command to an event as well, though I'm not 
quite clear on exactly what you want to accomplish that isn't done with 
just the playback command. The following would be super annoying, but is 
an example of playing a file every time node 99998 unkeys from the 
remote side of node 99999, at least theoretically. I haven't tested it.

[events99999]
P99998 = v|e|${RPT_ALINKS} =~ "\",99998[TRC]K\""
asterisk -rx "rpt playback 99999 /etc/asterisk/local/path_to_file" = 
s|t|P99998
