As many other system services, BSynth should collect the sound files it finds
in the respective user/common/system folder, and that list would then be
presented to the user in a preferences application. No symlinks involved, but a
settings file, apparently.
Furthermore, the current sound file could just be a separate package that the
user can remove if wanted.
