 +Squawk is the Hacklab's sound effects, alerts (e.g. doorbell), and announcement system.
  
 Traditionally this was handled by doorpi. However, that pi has too much stuff hanging off it, and was very out of date. There was an issue of a loud pop occurring before any sound played, this was fixed in later firmware updates. Rob has purchased a pi (original B), amplifier and speakers for the purpose and documents them thus: Traditionally this was handled by doorpi.

-**Theory:** You could direct sound two only two rooms at once by playing the left or right channel only. By default mpg123 is called with the -m option to ensure that the output is mono and thus the same sound comes out every speaker.
