Hi!
I've written a small C program which pops up notifications about changes in the sound. It has two major advantages over the script here:
1) much less CPU intensive as it doesn't require executing external applications and so on.
2) it detaches itself automatically from the controlling terminal so you can close it. daemon(3)

You can find it here: http://bwalexh.wordpress.com/2009/05/02/ubuntu-thinkpad-sound-notification/

If you have any problem with it, please leave a comment on that same page!
