Comment(by coling):
Personally, I think this is a fairly niche use case, but it shouldn't be
too hard to implement as a module. The problem IMO is that the perfect
mechanism to implement this feedback system is libnotify, but this will
simply break on Ubuntu who have taken it upon themselves to implement and
promote an implementation of this spec that does not include action
callback (e.g. user feedback). Personally I absolutely disagree with this
approach but hey ho, I'm not an Ubuntu user and I wouldn't cripple my
applications due to poor design decisions. More info here:

That said, it should be possible to integrate some kind of message
*display* on Ubuntu even if all other distros have a nice "unpause" button
which would probably be enough considering most laptops (where this module
would be useful) have a mute button on them anyway and people could opt
just to press it with their visual reminder.
I have got a half finished module which wraps up "notifiying" the user via
libnotify, but due to various issues with glib mainloop integration for
modules, I've not finalised this. Lennart any news on this?
