ommiting the "(!)" tag<br>

results in the desired behaviour! This is weird. Where can I find some informations about<br>
the usage of the "(!)" in this context? As far as I know, the "(!)" marks a stanza as<br>
pristine/unique and is not to be expanded by other stanzas (or objects, I'm not so<br>

the syntax/semantics of extensions configuration.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The use of (!) means it is a template[1][2] for use by another context.

Another problem, as the subjects may state, is to have additional sounds alongside the<br>
default ones.<br>
<br>
The default sounds shipped with the FreeBSD port of Asterisk are located at<br>
/usr/local/share/asterisk/sounds/en. We'd like to stay with any default, since the<br>
directory configuration pointing to the top level directory of sounds is<br>
<br>
[directories]<br>
astdatadir => /usr/local/share/asterisk<br>
<br>
The installation image of asterisk is changing from time to time due to updates. The<br>
additional configurations should be kept outside the default paths, but sounds are<br>
located as a subdirectory adjacent with a lot of other default directories I'd like to<br>
keep as they are.<br>
<br>
For voicemail and other purposes we need other languages, German (de_DE/de), French (fr)<br>
and so on. We'd like to put those additions into different directories, maintaining them<br>
separately and leave the original folders untouched.<br>
<br>
Does Asterisk provide a mechanism to expand/searches directories?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm not aware of any current method to do that, everything gets searched in the sounds directory from what I know of.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
I tried to study the example/sample configuration files but I coul not find a hint how to<br>
explicitely set the directory (absolute, relative) for sounds in a defined stanza (the<br>
"[...]" thing i.e. in etc/voicemail.conf and so on).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Applications/functionality don't allow individual configuration of paths like this, they rely on the global configuration. </div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Template+Syntax">https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Template+Syntax</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Using+Templates">https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Using+Templates</a></div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><div><font color="#073763">Joshua C.
