@kai Do you have/know of of a working example how to play a notification to a Sonos device?

There indeed currently is not good place for the mp3s. But the whole audio framework is currently re-designed and once this is there, the Sonos binding will be adapted as well. And we should have an AudioSource that serves mp3 files directly from the files ystem.

While waiting, I discovered you can host static file from the conf/html folder:

Where to place static sound files for Jetty

I read that file, noticed a reference to /static that is referring to an html folder. I added my doorbell.mp3 to the {openhab home}/conf/html folder and that did the trick. I can now play a doorbell notification from the Sonos using this command: sendCommand(Sonos_Living_NotificationSound, "http://<oh server ip>/static/doorbell.mp3") Fwiw, .wav files work as well.

That will do for now.
