We want to provide both synthetical and natural sound-themes.

We thought about having a pool of generic sounds, that can be used by many 
applications, additionally to the sound-theme sounds (mostly about window 
managing and "GUI"-sounds, i.e. menu-item clicked, popup menu appears, 
...).

We also need some sounds suitable for games, so that finally more games 
will get sound support. I'm afraid the only reason for games not having 
sound support is that we don't have any sounds :}

Best wishes,
