I'm trying to get an alert sound file to play via the command line 
when an alarm is tripped. It works when I am manually fire of the script 
at the counsel, and I can see the script called in syslog when the alarm 
is tripped, but do not get any sound then.

When I used mplayer to play the file I would get pulseaudio errors about 
/var/www not being the home directory.

Any ideas?
