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.

Research direction
Review the existing sound files in `src/resources/` and identify all hardcoded paths. Look at the current configuration system to understand how to add new configuration options. Implement a mechanism to replace a placeholder like `{resources path}` with the actual resource path, and update all sound references to use this. Ensure backward compatibility by providing default values.
