Yes you can copy them into the same directory as the current files. Kris
recommends that you move your existing files for safety only.
The mode (ULAW, GSM etc) is selected by Asterisk depending upon what
mode the current caller is using.
Have you noticed that you don't have to put a file extension on the end
of a Playback instruction? This is because Asterisk looks for
filename.mode when trying to play a file. In the event it can't find
filename.mode it looks for filename.gsm.
If the file it's playing is not encoded using the current mode it has to
transcode the gsm file into whatever is required. This not only adds
computing overhead to the call in progress but degrades the quality of
the file as all such transactions are lossy.
Understand?

If I understand this correctly, this sounds package is a subset of the
Asterisk sounds package. Can I just copy the native sounds (eg. ulaw)
in the existing sounds directory and Asterisk will automatically use
them instead of the default gsm ones? How does Asterisk pick which one
to play, does it know about the .ulaw extension?

Doug,
It looks like you have installed
asterisk-sounds. asterisk-sounds is
not included in the Asterisk Native Sounds Package. That is a separate
collection of prompts arranged by John Todd and contributed to the
community. I have already talked with him about that.
Other people have brought this up too. Basically, I'll
consider
re-doing (and paying for) the sounds in asterisk-sounds based on the
donations I receive for what is provided so far in the Native Asterisk
Sounds package.
