What is the internal method to play audio in hfp_hf? (IDFGH-13872)

Describe the solution you'd like.

Hello,

I am trying to create something similar to a Bluetooth answering machine using hfp_hf. The main function would be to automatically answer calls from my Android phone and play a greeting message stored in a WAV file on the SD card connected to the ESP32. The message will be played to the caller as if someone is speaking into the microphone, and immediately after playing the message, the call will be terminated.

I have already managed to automatically answer the call and initialize the SD card in the ESP32 code, but I have not found a method to play the 'greeting.wav' file for the caller.

Since the project is only about automatically answering, playing the greeting, and hanging up the call, I am trying to keep it as simple as possible by only using the ESP32 and an SD card module.

Is there a method I can use to play 'greeting.wav' within the ESP32 with hfp_hf so that the caller can hear it right after the code answers the call, without using any external peripherals?

Describe alternatives you've considered.

To play 'greeting.wav' within the ESP32，you can save the .wav into SD card and load len bytes in every callback for outgoing data.

It should be noted that the operations in the callback should be as fast as possible. So, reading data from the SD card in callback is not a good choice. One possible approach is to use an backgroud task to transfer data from the SD card to the ringbuffer, and directly retrieve the data from the ringbuffer in the callback.
