Was: CTI Meteor Setup - Now TTS to whole house?

I've now got the Meteor working nicely with ACE and Comfort CWI.  As
suggested, I had to wire the Meteor into the phone line before
Comfort.

However, your note below whetted my appetite.  I've tried to get ACE
TTS working but have a few issues with that (query out with Dan at
the moment). That aside, I was interested how you integrate TTS into
the whole house audio.  I'd be most interested if you could explain,
for example:

- What you use as the sound source for music (MP3, pc & soundcard
perhaps)?
- How you amplify, distribute and control the whole thing?
- How you then mix in the TTS input and then (I guess, fade in TTS
over the music and then fade out again)?

Regards

Richard
