Isn't audio playback on your typical Linux box as trivial as copying an audio file to the appropriate audio device? Google turned up examples such as: cat crash.au >/dev/audio cat door_open.au > /dev/audio cat door_open.au > /dev/dsp And "The Linux Sound HOWTO": http://www.djcj.org/LAU/guide/Sound-HOWTO-6.html which details the various audio devices. You should be able to use system() to invoke 'cat' from Perl, if you want to be lazy, or open()/syswrite(). -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
