Hi,
Actually this functionality is included in the latest xAPSpeech. It
can play a wav file before speech which can be selected from the xAP
message as well as a default for all messages. Looks like I
completely missed updating the schema doc, sorry! I have added the
extra item to the doc on mi4 and xAP wiki which is just a Sound=
item in the tts.speak message. Only thing to note is the sound name
should refer to the sound without the file extension
As you say this kind of this is best handled in a single message and
not two. A xAP message can contain multiple blocks/sections but
will only ever be about 1 class.
