[Freeswitch-users] Playing remote prompts

[Adam Kelloway]

If I did not wish to store audio files on a FreeSWITCH host, what are my 
options for being able to retrieve a remote file and playing it?
My understanding is that the playback application can only play a local 
file, is that correct?
I did notice that there is a shell_stream module, which you could 
potentially use to retrieve a file (say, via HTTP), and provide the 
audio data as the output bash script output. Is there a way to do this 
or something similar without having to actually load another program/script?

Thanks,
