Tom,

I think you want to start with code/common/audreyspeak.pl.  Drop it into your code directory as chumbyspeak.pl.
You'll need to strip it down to generate a single soundfile.wav, which you drop into your html_root directory.
html_root=$Pgm_Root/web

Then you use:
run "get_url http://10.10.10.231/cgi-bin/custom/sound_test2" to get soundfile.wav to be played from the host mh.

I assume that sound_test2 is canned in the chumby?

You're going to run into trouble with consecutive speak events running over each other.  But, that could be
solved in various ways.

I hope that helps.
