Playing short wav files in Google Home

I would like to play a short sound for a more amusing output. If I understand the documentation correctly it should be possible with a reply in api.ai of something like this SSML:

<speak>Okay here we go: <audio src="http://example.com/boing.wav">boing</audio>. You are welcome!</speak>

Just for reference SSML means Speech Synthesis Markup Language.

The web simulator don't play this sound instead all tags seems to be stripped out. Is that not supported yet or did I do something wrong?

Without seeing your source, there are a few possible reasons:

I have the following for my node.js server which works (well, except for the URL):

  var msg = `
  <speak>
    Tone one
    <audio src="https://examaple.com/wav/Dtmf-1.wav"></audio>
    Tone two
    <audio src="https://example.com/wav16/Dtmf-2.wav"></audio>
    Foghorn
    <audio src="https://example.com/mp3/foghorn.mp3"></audio>
    Done
  </speak>
  `;

  var reply = {
    speech: msg,
    data:{
      google:{
        "expect_user_response": true,
        "is_ssml": true
      }
    }
  };

  res.send( reply );

The src URL must also be an https URL (Google Cloud Storage can host your audio files on an https URL).

So here is what I have for the code. It is in the Text responds field one my intent.

 <speak> One second <break time="3s"/> OK, I have used the best quantum processing algorithms known to computer science! Your silly name is $color $number. I hope you like it. <audio src="https://www.partnersinrhyme.com/files/sounds1/WAV/sports/baseball/Ball_Hit_Cheer.wav"></audio> </speak>

It does not work in the testing area of the api(dot)ai field, but does work when I turn on the integration and try it at the Google simiulator. here: https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/web-simulator
