Alexa

Alexa has a peculiarity about how to reproduce sounds when acting as a media player. Alexa is limited to reproduce sounds that are only in their directory of sounds.

Choose the sound most you like and assign it to the sound attribute at yaml. After that figure out at the sound duration and assign the loop_delay variable with the track duration.

Example

Go to Alexa Skills available sounds and choose one.

Get the sound you like most, in my case <audio src="soundbank://soundlibrary/scifi/amzn_sfx_scifi_alarm_03"/>.

After that, get the last part of audio like this: amzn_sfx_scifi_alarm_03 and assign it to the sound attribute in apps.yaml

Take a look at the duration of the sound and assign it to the loop_delay attribute as: loop_delay: 5

Tip

Alexa puts the request in a queue and I recommend truncate the number of track duration. If track duration is 5.96 secs trunc it to 5.
