Comment 2 for bug 786989

0.698->0.705 upgrade changed the 'sound on X' from simple bool value to a string, allowing the sound to be defined by the user. So instead of abusing the string field (by storing "TRUE"/"FALSE") I dropped the sound support for now. As there isn't an easy way to play custom sound files via GTK+.

On a related note I have (or at least had) a branch which restores the sound support, but adds libcanberra as a dependency. I believe the sound part of it is finished and functional, but I felt like the sounds should be customizable (instead of just using default XDG sounds) and that would mean changes to settingsdialog. Something which I didn't feel like doing at that time so I stopped messing around with that branch.
