There are embedded Astrisk distros like Astlinux that target small form
factor hardware. They have distributed the standard prompts in various
encodings for quite some time. I think that they may have been amonst
the first to do so. Platforms like the Soekris Net4801 could only
sustain a couple of G.729 transcodes, making native prompts a practical
necessity.
