I'm no expert, so someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but
you should be able to make one or two recordings and then either copy
or symlink that file in
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/[context]/[user]/busy.[gsm|wav] and
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/[context]/[user]/unavail.[gsm|wav]

If those files exist, Asterisk will play them instead of the default
"The person at extension XXX is not available right now, please...."

The only problem I forsee with this scenario is if the end-user goes
in to their voicemail and creates a new unavailable or busy message.
Surely you should be able to block them from over-writing those files
though my making them read-only.

Best of luck.
