Has anyone tried system sounds on kf5, lxde, xfce.

I'm not sure what system sounds are in xfce. However I did find
xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin that controls some volume. See below.
I'm looking at that also. I'm running xfce and when running okular
from the command line I get:
org.kde.knotifications: Audio notification requested, but sound file
from notifyrc file was not found, aborting audio notification
I'm investigating.
As you say, audio from youtube or melt or vlc work fine.
I installed xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin as follows, taking instructions
freely from Arch:
https://archive.xfce.org/src/xfce/xfce4-dev-tools/4.14/xfce4-dev-tools-4.14.0.tar.bz2
NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib \
--localstatedir=/var
make && make install
https://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin/snapshot/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin-0.4.2.
tar.gz
./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib \
--localstatedir=/var \
--enable-keybinder \
--enable-libnotify \
--enable-maintainer-mode
sed -i -e 's/ -shared / -Wl,-O1,--as-needed\0/g' libtool
make
make install
At runtime:
http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/pavucontrol/pavucontrol-4.0.tar.gz
Needs gtkmm3 and sigc++
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin installs on the panel and does control the
volume of the audio on things like youtube playing in firefox.
I do get sounds from thunderbird. I've been having a problem with
okular missing a module and I get this on the command line:
org.kde.knotifications: Audio notification requested, but sound file
from notifyrc file was not found, aborting audio notification
It is not clear to me that kde applications interface audio
notifications with the xfce environment.
If anyone has any ideas, please let us know.
