Please drop a mail to me or this list when you've got something. BTW, one thing I forgot about the GUI events: we should also have some sounds for "Question", "Sorry, an operation failed" and just "Information" (the last might be one of those bleeps). Maybe a "Warning" sound as well. > Welcome sound would be nice I guess. (I know that there's already one in > place, but I guess there's room for improvement). We could make a good > "Logoff" sound as well. Same applies for Close/Maximize/Minimize/etc... Yes. Actually we have a set of 10 welcome sounds already, all done by Ludovic Grossard . They just haven't been integrated into KDE. We'll do this with this effort, I think. For now, I've uploaded them to http://master.kde.org/~pfeiffer/sounds/welcome/. I can upload everything there until we use CVS. > Yes, I know about CVS, I'm fetching KICQ2's source almost everyday via > CVS.

Good. Another issue is compression. I don't think arts can handle ADPCM yet, so the files should be "raw" wavs. > Anyway, I'll fidle around some ideas, I'll make them available on my FTP > site for now, we'll see how it goes. Cool, looking (hearing? :)) forward!
