Well I think I need to understand what customised sounds are actually in the sound-theme-ubuntu package? What do you actually override or disabled from the fdo theme?
Once I know this, I can perhaps advise a bit better, but the advice will generally be the same: try and merge as many customisations as possible directly into sound-theme-fdo package and submit upstream. The idea of the fdo package is to be lean and only contain essential sounds (e.g. voip ringing, IM signon/offs/new message, Mail new message etc.) These are sounds you will *want* to have even on a live CD, so room needs to be found, or you should drop the IM apps, the voip apps and the mail apps etc too. You could also consider putting smaller versions (e.g. higher compression, lower sample spec) of the files in place to save a few kb here and there. If you feel you have to disable some of the base sounds, then perhaps this should be discussed upstream? e.g. if you feel you can disable it, then it is perhaps superfluous and can be omitted. The important part here is that this discussion should happen upstream. You can use the libcanberra list for this discussion. Really I'd rather talk about specifics. There are only 35 sounds over all: alarm-clock-elapsed audio-channel-front-center audio-channel-front-left audio-channel-front-right audio-channel-rear-center audio-channel-rear-left audio-channel-rear-right audio-channel-side-left audio-channel-side-right audio-test-signal audio-volume-change bell camera-shutter complete device-added device-removed dialog-error dialog-information dialog-warning message-new-instant message network-connectivity-established network-connectivity-lost phone-incoming-call phone-outgoing-busy phone-outgoing-calling power-plug power-unplug screen-capture service-login service-logout suspend-error trash-empty window-attention window-question Which of these do you feel are not essential for a desktop system? The test sounds in particular are IMO essential to allow people to configure their sound system appropriately. I can see you wanting to replace the login/logout sounds to customise it to Ubuntu, in which case I'd say you could relatively safely patch those sounds out the way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/790608 Title: libcanberra needs to depend on sound-theme-freedesktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcanberra/+bug/790608/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
