You can find this explanation on README.Debian:

> You should run soundmodemconfig before running the soundmodem application. Please read the manual pages, so you know where to store the xml configuration file which is used by soundmodem. HINT: Please use the -c command line option to store the configuration file, if you are running as non-root user. In line with the ax25 packages, soundmodem will by default read its
configuration from /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf.

So, running soundmodemconfig is a MUST. But even when running
soundmodemconfig, the /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf won't be created until
the directory /etc/ax25 exists. If you install the ax25 packages, the
directory will be created, and then you will be able to configure
soundmodem. However, the ax25 packages are not dependencies, so this is
totally a bug.

Since this package is imported from Debian, you should file a bug report
on Debian and link it here. If I'm not wrong (hope I'm not!) you should
ask the maintainer to add the /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf to the package
conffiles, so /etc/ax25 is created automatically if needed during
package installation.

Title:
  soundmodemconfig fails when loading /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf

Status in “soundmodem” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: soundmodem

  'soundmodemconfig' is a tool provided in the 'soundmodem' package used
  to set up the soundmodem daemon.

  When you first use the program, the file /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf
  doesn't exist, so the program outputs errors like:

  I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf"
  I/O error : No such fiile or directory

  Soundmodemconfig does not create that file, so you have to do it by
  hand (mkdir /etc/ax25 ; touch /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf ). Otherwise
  you won't be able to store the config.

  This may be an upstream bug...
