[sound] doesn't list custom ringtones

[Sebastien Bacher]

The settings list ringtones from /usr/share/sounds, or the new rtm image added a new ringtone from /custom, that directory is not handled by the sound panel sound, which means you don't see the selected ringtone if you go there and you can't change it back if you try another one

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The files are stored in "/custom/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/" which has some issues

- that's a different directory than the one used on the normal installation, where we use "/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones" and "/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/notifications" and list files in those directories

- they are in the same directory, which means we can't do thing like 'list files in "/custom/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones"' as additional ringtones, we need to code a filename in the source ... could we get the layout changed?

- the files are names ring and sms, that would lead to them being name "Ring" and "Sms" in the corresponding UI, is that ok?

Could anyone comment on what should be done for rtm? our solution is to either code those filenames in the source as a temporary hack, or do some change and define properly the layout to have some flexible code that would work with different sound sets from other custom tarballs

I can shuffle the files around to make it easier. I'll create /custom/usr/share/sounds/ringtones and /custom/usr/share/sounds/notifications and put the relevant files there. Is that helpful?

Regarding this bug - Shouldn't ~/.local/share/sounds/ubuntu/{ringtones,notifications} also be sourced? It would be useful to add new ringtones to the phone...
