Hello

I successfully installed FreeSwitch from SVN, and am now prompted to install
the sound files. Am I correct in understanding that "sounds" are POTS-grade
files (8KHz?) while "cd-sounds" are closer to VoIP-grade (16KHz?), and
"hd-sounds" and "uhd-sounds" are for Skype-grade sound files?

In that case, if I only need to play sound files to POTS callers, I only
need the "sounds" files?

I recommend you just do this:
make cd-sounds-install && make cd-moh-install

This will install all the sounds (8k, 16k, 32k, 48k) and thus FS can play whatever sampling rate is necessary. I promise you that this is the easiest way to go. Others have tried to save a few megabytes of disk space by not installing the higher quality sounds and music and have ended up wasting hours debugging "issues with playing sound files."

For the record, the 8k files are just "sounds" and then you have hd (16k), uhd (32k), and cd (48k).
