With sub module, you can change the URL of the audio file to point to
the CDN inside the HTML as it is delivered. This avoids the extra
round-trip of a redirect as discussed previously.

The net effect is the same as changing the urls in your site, but it
is a simple nginx config so it is easy to tweak. You can also use
variables, so A/B testing or a pilot rollout to say 10% of visitors
could be done as well using if or map directives to set the
substitution variable.
