events playing MP3's on RasPi

I would like to replace my doorbell chimes (in the central hallway of our house) with a powered speaker, connected to the audio output of my RasPi running Domoticz.

This way I could have different sounds for different things :
- somebody presses the doorbell button
- the garage is open
- there is movement detected at night in the house (alarm)
- ...

so I would need to create a "device" that actually plays a certain MP3 ...

I could then program events to make domoticz play different sounds in different situations ...

... makes sense ?

How can I do this ?

update

im configuring domoticz to run on a linux server, so this will make playing audio easyer than on the RasPI ?

can I create a switch that just plays an mp3 in domoticz ?

Sure, just create the switch and use a script to run a shell script on the device.
