Summary:                    default sound files for Core Sound and Music On Hold
File Packages not the same format
Description: 
By default the sound files get installed as:

CORE-SOUNDS-EN-GSM
MOH-FREEPLAY-WAV

We should set the same default format system wide.

Sending music to GSM phones is bad, or at least you need music that is
designed to be sufficiently voice like that it is not badly distorted.

Typicaly you want uncompressed voice files (in the largest format you can
spare room for) if you use any uncompressed codec, plus one set of voice
files for each compressed codec that you use.  That's because converting
between uncompressed formats is cheap, but converting to or between
compressed ones is expensive, and you will get losses on both sides of the
conversion, if you convert between compressed formats.
