SUMMARY
Applications that want to play sounds with notification hints, for example "sound-name" do not play sound effects.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open terminal
2. Run notify-send with a sound hint: notify-send --hint=STRING:sound-file:/usr/share/sounds/Oxygen-Im-New-Mail.ogg eds



OBSERVED RESULT
No sound is played, even sound-file hint is supplied

EXPECTED RESULT
The sound that is given to the notification with the hint should play

Can confirm, though we should move in the direction of specifying sounds by name, not filepath.
