I think the main issue we have here, is that we don't have the concept
of config overlay. Something that would enable a set of option
specifically per application. I know how to add this concept when
loading an eet file, but I have yet to figure out how to do it when
saving.

It is currently a serious usability problem for user to discover how
to turn that sounds off, but still keep the effect around. In general
we should have a reflection on how we do configure our software has we
have the same issue in Enlightenment. We have a lot of options, and
its hard to do a proper configuration. We could be lazy and remove
options, that's a solution, but I don't think it suite our need very
well.
