So, a work-around would be the followig:
The same daemon described in my above post, but instead of manipulating the config, it should also convert the personal ringtones to .wav, and then simply rename the files before the phone application plays them.
I think that your solution would be too expensive in terms of cpu/battery and disk operations (solid state disks are capable of a limited number of writing operations).
We need a linux way for this, for example substituting the .local/share/sounds/Terrestial.aac.wav file with a FIFO file that is feeded by a fast mp3player (like mplayer) controlled by a daemon.
