I think we should have an official gnome sound release. There are some slight
problems with these sounds. Namely too soft, too low (as in Hz) and too long.
I have a computer that I can use to do some edits and things of that nature.
It's a windows box, and for some reason these files are corrupt in windows.
Any clues?

I have this free music license. But I forgot the website that I got it from.
I've attached it below.

I think so, but I believe it limited to small number of characters.

Yes, an important one too imho, a mail sound.
We should use this opportunity to start the gnome sound project on the right
track. Maybe get organized, a mailing list, and a coordinator/leader to start
out with?
