That is correct. 'make install' installs the standard sound files along with the binaries; if we did not do that, then when the code had been changed to required new sound files they would not be present...

However, we have been working on a simpler method to handle this, where the sound files directory would be version-tagged, and we wouldn't overwrite anything unless the new version was needed. This would still overwrite your files though, if a new version of the sound files was needed with an Asterisk upgrade. The only solution for that problem is to version-tag every single sound file, and I don't think it's worth the hassle for that.

How about if we add a 'post-install' step in the Makefile, that would run a local script/program if specified, which could copy your sound files back into place?
