Sound (prompt) and Music On Hold files:
Beginning with Asterisk 1.4, the sound files and music on hold files supplied for
use with Asterisk have been replaced with new versions produced from high quality
master recordings, and are available in three languages (English, French and
Spanish) and in five formats (WAV (uncompressed), mu-Law, a-Law, GSM and G.729).
In addition, the music on hold files provided by FreePlay Music are now available
in the same five formats, but no longer available in MP3 format.
The Asterisk 1.4 tarball packages will only include English prompts in GSM format,
(as were supplied with previous releases) and the FreePlay MOH files in WAV format.
All of the other variations can be installed by running 'make menuselect' and
selecting the packages you wish to install; when you run 'make install', those
packages will be downloaded and installed along with the standard files included
in the tarball.
If for some reason you expect to not have Internet access at the time you will be
running 'make install', you can make your package selections using menuselect and
then run 'make sounds' to download (only) the sound packages; this will leave the
sound packages in the 'sounds' subdirectory to be used later during installation.
WARNING: Asterisk 1.4 supports a new layout for sound files in multiple languages;
instead of the alternate-language files being stored in subdirectories underneath
the existing files (for French, that would be digits/fr, letters/fr, phonetic/fr,
etc.) the new layout creates one directory under /var/lib/asterisk/sounds for the
language itself, then places all the sound files for that language under that
directory and its subdirectories. This is the layout that will be created if you
select non-English languages to be installed via menuselect, HOWEVER Asterisk does
not default to this layout and will not find the files in the places it expects them
to be. If you wish to use this layout, make sure you put 'languageprefix=yes' in your
/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf file, so that Asterisk will know how the files were
installed.

Sounds:
* The phonetic sounds directory has been removed from the asterisk-sounds
package because they are now included directly in Asterisk. However, it is
important to note that the phonetic sounds that existed in asterisk-sounds
used a different naming convention than the sounds in Asterisk. For example,
instead of alpha.gsm and bravo.gsm, Asterisk has a_p.gsm and b_p.gsm.
