Please ask sooner, we'll try to help!

The content model of the RDC config file <prompt> element is the same
as the VXML <prompt> element. So, simply:

<prompt>
 <audio src="foo.wav"/>
</prompt>

As above:

<prompt>
 <audio src="hello.wav"/><audio src="how_are_you.wav"/>
</prompt>

If you mean initial prompt as in before entering any RDC, that is
straight JSP. See the sample applications in the distribution for code
snippets.

See sample-config.xml and some schema fragments here (they may need to
be polished per latest changes):

You need the config file. Your suggestion is good, but not supported.

The examples have TTS prompts to keep download sizes manageable and
also, since you might want to choose the correct type and encoding
that your browser works best off of. We do not expect most people to
use TTS in real applications. But, as shown above, switching to audio
is fairly trivial, once you have the audio.

We should probably add this to the wiki [1], it is open to anyone
after a quick registration.

Do let us know if you have other questions.
