You can change 'astdatadir' in asterisk.conf, but that changes the 
location of the entire 'tree'.

You can specify an absolute path like
'/my-windows-server/my-special-sounds/beep'

You can create a link from your mounted network directory like:

 	ln -s /my-windows-server/my-special-sounds/\
 		/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/my-special-sounds

You could mount your Windows share as a directory in the sounds directory 
like:

 	mount -t cifs ///my-windows-server/my-special-sounds/\
 		/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/my-special-sounds
