[arm-allstar] Audio Files - Play only when there has not been any traffic

[Josh Hatton]

Related but different inquiry:

If  *asterisk** -rx "rpt playback nnnn /etc/asterisk/audio/audiofile"*  was
used in some process, am I able to stack node numbers in that command?

i.e
*  asterisk -rx "rpt playback 2001 2002 2003 2004
/etc/asterisk/audio/audiofile"  *
These are all nodes that are connected to the hub at hand, so *just in
case* an outside larger network was to connect in, I would (assume I could)
make the audio file exclusive down to the node number.  It wouldn't
'accidentally' get passed out to an "outsider" node or hub.


Thanks for any input.
