I'd rather think of a *proposal* file which has been approved by simple voting on this list. I agree there should not be any official "pressure" of pronunciaton, but I think it couldn't harm to have a proposal sound file for those who look for advice or - in this case - look for a way writing LibreOffice in their native language at all. I think overruling things and help to find a consensus to understand each other must not be mistaken.
