Why are custom sounds still not working?

I know we are on the holiday break at the time of my posting so i get the lapse right now but between the devs and the community i'm surprised this has not been fixed yet. I really love the customisation that the original series offered the player. It's hard for me to go back to a few mediocre soundsets. I have gone through the proper steps and placed them all into the sounds folder, can hear them in character creation, but only one sometimes two sounds ever fire in game.

Its been reported many times, in better detail, in other posts around here. This SEEMS like it would be a very minor snafu in code to deal with but admittedly I know only little about programming. I do know there are tons of skilled modders in the community and i'm almost more surprised that they haven't peeked into the code a little to see whats up.

Currently, this and the lack of multiplayer "enhancement" have prevented me from playing this game as I bought this mainly for the purpose of me and a friend to play a multiplayer game with 6 custom created characters. We need these soundsets and while I'm aware of and capable of using these "workarounds" my friend, 800 miles away doesn't know jack about them and needs some ease of use upgrades... as promised.

Can somebody please clue me into what is being done to get this fixed.
