[arm-allstar] Randomizing Hourly ID Messages

I built a HamVoIP controller for a small group recently - They love the
system - They had an idea to randomize the hourly IDs with several Voice
IDs.

It doesn't seem it would be too hard to cycle through IDs, but
"randomizing" them could be the challenging part.

They like the idea of hearing a random message first, then the time and
wx/temperature (time/temp already in place via rpt.conf).

What am I looking at coding-wise to randomize a few .gsm files, followed by
the asterisk time/temp?  If randomizing would be tough, even just playing
one file every hour, in order from a list file, each followed by the
time/temp would be great.

Your thoughts, ideas etc are appreciated.
