I'm a player not the GM.
We know the construct has DR x / adamantine and construct traits. I do not know if it is an intelligent construct, but I suspect it is not.
Not sure exactly how some of those apply.
1) Litany of Weakness - Would only apply if it was an intelligent construct since it is a language dependent spell. However, it still doesn't work since it is a necromancy effect. Correct?
2) Vial of Acid and Alchemist Fire - These would bypass the DR and damage it normally. Correct?
3) Sonic damage specifically Ear Piercing Scream - This would bypass the DR since the sonic can damage an object. But would the daze work? Constructs are immune to stunning, but it doesn't say anything about daze. Is that the same? I'm not certain.
Without knowing the particular kind of construct and its particular qualities (which only your GM would know), it is hard to answer. You should make an in-game knowledge check (arcana I'd assume) and ask the GM if your character thinks these things would affect it or not since he or she is the final arbiter of such rulings.
Now, as for your questions in a general sense:
1) Doesn't matter; constructs are immune to fatigue.
2) Yes, it would bypass DR as damage reduction is only for physical damage (bashing, slashing, piercing kinds of stuff), though I make no promises that it isn't also resistant to energy (which is like DR for acid, fire, cold, electricity, etc)
3) Constructs are immune to anything that requires a fortitude save unless it also works on objects. The 'target' line of ear-piercing scream simply says 'one creature', thus it cannot affect the construct. If it could affect objects, as some sonic spells do, it would also say 'one object'. Phew, dodged the bullet on whether or not dazing works on them!

Yes, I did mean in a general sense. We had done the knowledge check, and those are the qualities we know about. I'm just not particularly rules savey(sp) to know exactly what that means as far as my options are concerned.
Hmm... Ok, I will probably switch out ear piercing scream then when I get a chance. I picked it primarily as a way to hurt the constructs that are difficult to effect.
Thanks.
Your character should, with appropriately high knowledge checks, be able to know that litany of weakness is pointless and ear-piercing scream can't hurt constructs even if you, the player, doesn't. The GM would be the one describing such character knowledge. That's what I had meant about the check; the interpretation of the facts within the context of the gameworld from the PC's point of view.
