[Xastir] Xastir sound files missing..

Those files have always been a separate zipfile on sourceforge, and have
never been in CVS.

I am thinking a separate git project associated with the Xastir organization
is the right approach.

Paths in Xastir are *always* relative to the Xastir share directory.  You
can't specify absolute paths in any of Xastir's config (maps, symbols, sounds,
etc.)

The behavior you describe is what's expected.  Put your sounds files in 
/usr/share/xastir/sounds, and then tell Xastir what file you want played
in the Audio Alarms config --- using just the file name, not the full path.
