additional sound files

[David Welton]

Hi,

I'm writing regarding asterisk and its integration in Debian (or, in
this case, Ubuntu, but that's not pertinent).

My question is about adding additional sound files.  README.Debian says:

Sounds reside at /usr/share/asterisk/sounds. Voicemail mailboxes are below
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail using symlinks.

If they reside there, how does one go about adding to, or modifying
them?  We'd like to change some of the sounds, without having to worry
we update the Debian packages...

I'm thinking along the lines of PATH... in other words,
/usr/local/share/asterisk/sounds overrides the equivalent files in
/usr/share/asterisk, but that's juts the first thing that pops into my
head, perhaps there is a better way.

Thankyou,
