Write a WP7 program which installs ringtones?

One thing I really miss on my windows phone 7 is the ability to set a custom ringtone.

Is it possible to write a program which installs (custom) ringtones for selection in the phone?

Or is there any way to buy/sell ringtones (create a package with a ringtone and sell it on app hub, for example)?

In the German documentation for ringtones it says ringtones can be bought and installed from marketplace.
In the English version of this page it says custom ringtones can not be installed.

Translation error, or is the german version of the phone different? If there really is a method to buy ringtones, it must be possible to package them somehow?

The next Windows Phone update called "Mango" announced at MIX11 last week will have custom ringtones and as I understood during the Keynote you can create apps that allow users to set a ringtone from your app.

It is not possible because your app is sandboxed and you have only access to IsolatedStorage and some other stuff via Lunchers and Choosers.
