Description

We distribute some sound files in the src/resources/ directory. We should make them all configurable. Particularly Alexa's "yes" and "hello" might get annoying over a time, so users might want to replace them with something else.

We should use something like .replace('{resources_path}', resources_path) and set the paths in the config relative to the {resources_path} directory.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify all hardcoded sound file paths in the src/resources/ directory and surrounding code, then implement a configuration option that uses string replacement (e.g., .replace('{resources path}', resources path)) to make them configurable. Update relevant configuration files and documentation.
