- We need at least one sound (and preferably several sounds) with acceptable licenses that we can distribute.
- These sounds can be played for chat messages (and, eventually, normal notifications, private messages, mentions, clicking a button, and at random).
- Everyone can be a professional sound artist if they believe in themselves.
- It's technically desirable to play one sound even if several windows that react to an event are open, so I'm going to put this in the Aphlict client. This is the way Facebook solved this problem from ~2008-2012. (As far as I a can tell, they no longer use Flash, and play sounds multiple times.) This will be more significant once we ship desktop notifications, since multiple identical notifications are worse than several copies of a sound playing at the same time.
- I imagine these settings being global defaults for now, and eventually maybe customizable per thread type (thread vs room) or per thread (not sure how useful that is).
