[EAS] Massage Length

[Harold Price]

Keep in mind that if the recorded audio in a CAP message isn't 
deliverable (network congestion, improper encoding of the message (so 
that the address is the internal NAT address and not the external IP 
address), or other network misadventure), then the CAP/EAS device 
will fall back to TTS - and you have no way of knowing how long the 
resulting audio will be.  Don't cut it close, and shorter is better.
