Not sure if you got an answer to this.  The following example is based on 
code/examples/x10_motion_sensor_******.pl
and
code/common/hello_play.pl


# Category = Test

$movement_sensor_unit3  = new  Serial_Item ('XA1', 'UNIT3MOVEMENT');
$movement_sensor_unit3 ->  add             ('XA1AJ', 'UNIT3 ON');
$movement_sensor_unit3 ->  add             ('XA1AK', 'UNIT3 OFF');
$movement_sensor_unit3 ->  add             ('XA2', 'XA2');
$movement_sensor_unit3 ->  add             ('XA2AJ', 'DARK');
$movement_sensor_unit3 ->  add             ('XA2AK', 'LIGHT');

# Motion detected
if (state_now $movement_sensor_unit3 eq 'UNIT3 ON') {
    set $sitting_room_lamp "on";
    play(file => "hello_from_bruce.wav");
}
