[Asterisk-Dev] moving sounds out of asterisk repository

[Kaloyan Kovachev]

What about something similar to the mpg123 installation for all the sounds?

I mean, no sounds are included even in the release tarballs, but instead you
may download them ('make base_sounds') or use the previously downloaded
'base-sounds-x.y.tar.gz' if the version is the same - this will make the
release tarballs much smaller. In this case you may also use 'make
addon_sounds' or 'make full_sounds', which will behave the same way for both -
the base and the additional sounds without separate downloads and installs.

What do you think?
