And like many other problems, this can be solved in the dialplan I  
believe.
We could have a filesearch function - that checks a path so you can do

exten => abba,1,playback(filesearch(olleabbamusic))

The big question here is if additional lookups will help performance?  
For heavily used systems, I don't want extra file-system IO.

If someone adds this code, should it be enabled by default?
