Regarding the sounds files: I don't think that the way Asterisk installer handles them is very optimal either. Your message got me thinking, though. I believe that Debian is right installing all sounds to /usr/share/asterisk/sounds . But /var/lib/asterisk/sounds (/usr/local/asterisk/sounds? ) should still be kept for custom sounds that are never touched by the package. I figure that file.c:build_filename could be changed to do the following: if exists /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/<filename> return /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/<filename> else if exists /usr/share/sounds/asterisk/<filename> return /usr/share/sounds/asterisk/<filename> What do you think? I figure I'll try to push this into Debian first.
