There is an audible delay in the latency until the sound is played and approximately 1 second until the sound is replayed (despite the key repeat likely firing at over 25 Hz. Viewing the Vorbis file with ogginfo and mhWavedit shows that it is is approximately 900 milliseconds in length! $ ogginfo /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg | grep Playback Playback length: 0m:00.882s The file consists of ~50 milliseconds of silence, ~200 milliseconds of actual sound and then a further ~650 milliseconds of silence. Ideally the white space should be trimmed to the *absolute maximum*. The sound needs to play *immediately* to meet the requirements set of the HIG for interactive feedback (100 millisecond upper bound). If further delays are being introduced by the Vorbis loading then this sound (which should be immediate and responsive) should probably be converted to an uncompressed format. Failing that, the sound could be reverted to the previous short and quick 'bip' sound used previously.
