Overview

Use ffplay to play short MP3 alerts for task completion, errors, or help-needed moments. Keep usage optional and non-intrusive.

Workflow

•
Determine the event type.
- •Task completed successfully -> TASK_FINISHED
- •Task failed or aborted -> ERROR
- •Waiting for user input or blocked -> NEED_HELP
•Play the matching sound once with ffplay (avoid repeated alerts for the same event).
•If ffplay is unavailable or playback fails, continue without blocking and optionally mention the missing dependency.

Command usage

Use ffplay with no display and auto-exit:

bash

ffplay -nodisp -autoexit assets/audio/TASK_FINISHED.mp3

bash

ffplay -nodisp -autoexit assets/audio/ERROR.mp3

bash

ffplay -nodisp -autoexit assets/audio/NEED_HELP.mp3

Notes

•Audio files live in assets/audio/*.mp3; adjust the path if you store them elsewhere.
•Audio playback requires WSL audio support and ffplay in PATH.
