Sounds are no longer configured on an individual basis, but as entire themes. It's very much like icon themes; they even inherit from each other! The individual sounds are given standard names, like audio-volume-change. Libcanberra (or something else) lets an application request a certain event sound be played, and the actual choosing / playing of the sound happens magically based on the theme the user has selected. I'm not sure if there are any tutorials on the topic, but the specification should have the information you need to get started turning an assortment of files into a working sound theme: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/sound-theme-spec Check out the Freedesktop sound theme (in the repos, and linked to from the sound theme spec's wiki page) for a complete sound theme, with the appropriate index.theme file :) Keep in mind the version of the theme outside Ubuntu's repos may be a bit newer; its rhythm of updates is in tune with Fedora.
