Hey all, there's a sound file referenced in asterisk, that has not yet
been created!

Specifically, it is vm-duration
is is referenced in apps/app_voicemail.c, in function
play_message_duration() 
and is reported in bug 8993 by caio1982.

Kevin Fleming did some research and says:

The length of a voicemail in seconds is divided by 60, and the resulting
number played just after the vm-duration file is played. Then
"vm-minutes" is played.

caio1982 suggests that "this message is longer than" be the wording for
this...
I personally lean toward "this message is at least" ... but, who am I?

So, any votes or further suggestions as to what to put in this file?
