Since I only use lxde as my DE and I
don't have anything from KDE installed, I was getting little
confuse,as to why those media-libs were needed, but now with these
two replies I received. it is making more sense. So basically
kmail needs media-libs that KDE uses so it can play sound
notifications, even though i'm using another DE instead of KDE?
