Dean,

hopefully this helps a little:
http://docs.xamarin.com/ios/tutorials/Working_with_the_File_System#Application_Directories

you are correct, anything embedded in your app is in the 'app bundle',
which is readonly on the device. there are a few other folders available
for you to store data - in your case i think /Library/ makes more sense
than /Documents/

finally (and don't quote me on this), i *think* i read somewhere that
notification sounds _do_ need to be in the app-bundle ~ the only way to
ensure they are definitely available. i could be wrong (frequently am)

cd
