IIRC the issue here is that we don't have guarantee of atomicity and as
all variables can be changed by various threads.

Asterisk has too much language-specific logic in too many places.
Another issue is that this language-specific code assumes some languages
have very specific names. E.g. it will apply if you set the language to
'he' but not to 'he_name-of-samples-set'

(There should be a bug about this one but I can't find it right now)
