I would like to request that notify-osd support sounds.
The feature is briefly discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Sound

In addition, the Desktop Notifications Specification describes a sound-file hint:
http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x344.html

This, as well as suppress-sounds, should be supported if the server supports sounds:
http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x408.html

notify-osd can implement this feature using libcanberra-gtk. With that, it also makes sense to support an x-sound-id hint in notify-osd.

This feature should allow notify-osd to play the appropriate volume change sound that is available when one adjusts the volume in unpatched gnome-settings-daemon. (That application also uses libcanberra-gtk, but when it uses libnotify there is no widget to assign the event to. Bug #538761 has information to that end).
