 There are a fair few out there:

 At the moment the only ones I can find are created for KDE, I guess

 Right now non-hardware sound mixing is only just becoming reliable enough

 listen to music whilst working which makes notification/usability noises
 pretty pointless unless dmix or a sound server is active. Updating the

Right now, every time sound events are activated, so is esound (this
should probably be fixed, as ALSA solutions are getting implemented in
most Linux distributions), so we can assume that simultaneous sounds can

 Another flaw is also that Metacity doesn't support sounds. Currently,
 Gnome can only add sounds to events that happen within gtk and Gnome
 events. That mean that you can add sounds to startup and when you
 click on gtk buttons. But you can not add it to when you minimize or
 maximize windows. I wonder why? Wouldn't integrating sounds with
 Metacity be something worth doing? If it is, then why haven't it
 already been done? :-) If someone hasn't done it already I think I
 will.
 

No reason, patches welcome.

I think the lack of metacity sounds and sound themes probably have the
most to do with the difficulty of creating sounds - we don't seem to
have anyone working on creating good, original sounds.
