True, we need to add sound functionality. We used to have beep sounds on messages but it had to be disabled for some reason in one of the core upgrades. We used the beep functionality from GDK, but GDK is planned for deprecation soon.

GTK+ also does not provide the possibility to play custom sounds. Therefore, we would have to use some commandline utility like aplay (not sure how standard this is?) as you said or some library (gstreamer?) to play. The library option would require a plugin so as to not add build dependencies.

As far as font changes that's already covered in bug #318595.
