well audio support is basic, but underway in edje as well as there begin
ecore_audio now.

here is the philosophy:

we already have an abstract event/messaging system in edje. its built around
visauls right now, but it can also add in some basic sound stuff right now. we
want to expand this a lot. as such imho sounds BELONG with the theme. the theme
defines your "experience". is it dark and techy, or light and sunny? old school
victorian or modern cubist? sound belongs with it. when you mouseover a
scrollbar you should be ABLE to make a "swish" sound to hint that u can drag
that thing. AS you drag the scrollbar you hear a swishing/scraping sound that
changes pitch and volume as you drag around to give you audio feedback on that
you are doing. thats why i think these should integrate

(and yes - those that find sounds annoying there should be a switch to turn the
sound(s) off in general - that's a policy thing).

for general "specific" non-ui element conencted sounds (eg app was executed,
window closed), there is no reason it should be any deifferent, except we emit
a signal to some object we load from an edje file (but never show) and tell it:

"e", "app,executed"
"e", "window,closed"

etc. - and it matches those signals up with audio feedback. if you want a
different audio theme here - just select an object from a different edje file -
this simply requires that e has a way to select a different edje file FOR audio
sounds in general (ui element specific sound tho is still bound to the element).

as such the audio support is lagging behind in efl, but its on its way.
