[Xastir] Audio Alarms - How?

[Amateur Radio WB8NUT]

Darryl,

I feel like a dumba**.  Thanks for your last comment Darryl. It seems to 
work better with the soundfiles downloaded ;-)

I incorrectly assumed that the files were part of the Xastir package. 
All that was required was the "play" command and nothing else, although 
with a different suggestion, I did download and install sox.  Now 
everything is working - except festival, which I still cannot get working.

Thanks,

Duffy
