I wrote a custom module to pull remote prompts over HTTP and cache them on my FS server.  Given the type of apps I run, I have a 99% hit rate.  I wrote this using libcurl, but you could probably do something similar with a shell script as was initially mentioned.

You could setup an internal http server with a directory called 'audio' (http://server.ip/audio/), then use mod_shout as Avi suggested like this: <action application="shout" data="http://server.ip/audio/file.mp3"/>


+1 on "Interest" in this discussion. Additional point of failure argument aside, I'm very interested to know if anyone else has any experience to share re: streaming audio files/prompts etc from a remote FS via shout/Ice type of protocols/techniques rather than using a fileshare mount etc? Is there a preference of one over the other (SHOUT Vs ICE) or should I be reading the difference between a SHOUTcast and ICEcast before opening my mouth? :)

Thx
