Quite the contrary, there is a VERY valid reason for a couple versions of each sound: it's called having "options." You see, there is a very real possibility that I might not like the same sound you do. Care must be taken when choosing (there is always kde-look) but but having a "default" and "classic" option at least is something I find downright necessary. And seeing as how sounds are pretty small and there is a working interface for the user to choose between them[1] having some built-in options that can be chosen without an internet connection and without downloading huge theme packs is something that will benefit KDE greatly. [1] There is no doubt that lack of a theming interface for the sounds is a sad oversight. Luckily, the current interface is serviceable.
