Hi Xavier,
schedule([("0m & 0-5s",delay(5.,clock))])]) ;Is delay a trick to play a single sound from the "clock" playlist every hour? I am looking for the best way to extract a single sound from a playlist, randomly or in sequence, and play it entirely at fixed times. In the above example, it seems that schedule would play several sounds in a row if they last less than 5 seconds,
You've guessed right, that's really a trick, but it hasn't the problem you describe. At the beginning of every hour the schedule calls the delay, which calls the clock, which starts streaming back a jingle. At the end of the jingle, if the jingle is less than 5 seconds, the schedule asks the delay if it has something more to say, but the delay won't answer positively until 5. seconds are elapsed. At that time the schedule won't be asking anymore. So in theory that trick works well. Don't you observe the behaviour I describe ? Cheers. -- David
