Okay, found the files I was looking for. Changed them to ogg, edited them, changed them back to vba and put them in content\sounds etc etc. However it would seem the game doesn't use the modified files in the same folder structure, so either there's a config command to enable this or I have to repack back to content.vfx.
Help?
