[Xastir] audio alarms, festival problems

[Michael A. Sterba]

Hello Steve,

For the audio alarms (not festival) you need to set your player
to /usr/bin/aplay and verify your a member of the audio group. Also, you
may need to download the wave (.wav) files associated with the
announcements you would like to use. Between this and the festival setup
described below, you should have it good in either case.
