Well, this is the Kamailio maillist, not Asterisk maillist :)

Take a look to RFC 4240, it defines some approachs for what you want.
For example, section 3 " Announcement Service" suggest to use an
INVITE RURI with the following syntax:

  sip:annc at ms2.example.net;play=file://fileserver.example.net//geminii/yourHoroscope.wav

This sounds cool, but in Asterisk there is no way to read the RURI
parameters so it's not valid for you.

SEMS media server allows multiple methods to set the announcement:
- As RURI username
- As RURI parameter
- As custom header value


Any of them is valid if it works for you :)
