wow, nice! In the near future, aRts, the sound backend of kde will be able
to play mp3s natively, so having them as mp3 is perfect.

Now we just need a way to package the sounds... I hope we will have more
than "one standard" sound theme in the future. There is
kcontrol/themes/Themes, but I guess this is for complete "Desktop
Themes". kcontrol/syssound is supposed to be removed soon... (Charles?),
so the sounds from there should be moved anyway. A kdemedia package?

I think most games are lacking support for playing midi right now, but
Antonio (libkmid author) might add the support. Or try to convince the
author :)

Carsten, very happy about better sound support
