I've got a directory under /var/lib/asterisk/sounds which contains a
bunch of sound files. I would like to call the Playback command to play
the files, but I need it to select a file to play randomly. Is there
any way to do this?
I do this with an AGI.
In 1.4, there's also a dial plan function RAND().
Doesn't RAND return a random number?
How will that help to play back a random file in a directory?
Well, any randomness algorithm starts with a random number. In Asterisk
extension language, though, translating number to a file name takes a bit
lifting - meaning lifting by you, not by a system command or by a well
published procedure. One way to do this is in dial plan is to use a static
AstDB table. (AEL may have better ways but I don't know.)
