Description Wesley Velroij 2009-01-14 17:31:06 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Maby its cool to add some sound effects like Osx has, but then not the same ofcourse.

Comment 1 Christian Esken 2009-01-14 23:38:52 UTC

The implementation was already there since KDE3.x, but was deactivated due to issues (blocking the soundcard). It is probably better today, with better soundcards (hardware mixing) or todays enhanced Linux multimedia architectures (software mixing by driver or framework).

I will see whether it still works.

Comment 3 Christian Esken 2009-01-14 23:42:16 UTC

OK, withe a tiny patch it compiles, but I don't hear any sound. Probably I have to use full path, or resolve the OGG file by using the ressource lookup library functions.
Well, later ...

This would be a nice option to have and not only for accessibility reasons.

Comment 6 Christian Esken 2011-08-09 21:00:26 UTC

During the KDE Multimedia Sprint we agreed to make it available for (only) the system volume - using libcanberra. Marking this as TODO - Assigned.

Volume feedback, previously only supported by PulseAudio but now for all audio backends, now implemented by
