fwiw, after working on kde's panels for a few years now, i've found no reliable correlation between "working sound" and a sound applet running. perhaps it's different in gnome =) > I see benefit in the separation from a notification daemon. isn't this a separate topic altogether from notifications, though, which should be discussed separately and with the multimedia developers of all the projects? (they tend to have great cross-pollination, so this shouldn't be hard) they could then bring a recommendation (e.g. a standardized DBUS interface to be provided by the running desktop's workspace) to this list which would likely have good coverage of the issues they are most acquainted with? > notification daemon. Thus the notification daemon can use the play_sound > dbus service to play a sound with a given priority. or it could use the sound system provided by the platform it is written to, and that sound system could provide a standardized DBUS interface for play_sound. so i don't see a particular advantage to defining this detail within the scope of "notification systems" -- Aaron J.
