Callsign wave files are files you create or your friends record for you announcing their callsign. When this feature is enabled, the program looks for a file with the callsign of the incoming report and if there is a match, it will play it. For example, if you have a wave file by the name of WA2DEU.wav, and you receive a position report from WA2DEU, the WA2DEU.wav file gets played. Note that currently, this feature is SSID dependent. So you would need to have a separate file for WA2DEU-9. Embedded Wave files are files played when an embedded file is specified in the text of an incoming packet. Embedded wave files are specified by a % symbol. So if you have embedded wave files enabled for Posits, then if files are specified by a %file designation, file.wav get played. Another example, if a posit had %wa2deu %ringin %update in the posit text, the program would look for wa2deu.wav, ringin.wav and update.wav.
