Excellent, thanks for the info!
I was mostly worried about opening privileged ports, but an initial test
showed only high ports opened.
I'd guess that only files asterisk needs to write need to be owned by the
asterisk user, and the other files (eg. sounds) can be owned by root and
made world-readable.
