It doesn't, however, solve the problem of conforming to the File
Hierarchy Standard. System-provided files should be in /usr/share and
should be read only, whereas customized sound files (e.g. files written
by Asterisk) should be in /var. It would be very handy if Asterisk could
handle lookup in multiple directory hierarchies.
