KDE System Sounds allows you to assign sounds to various sytem events. When such an event (like "Window open") occurs, the sound file that has been associated to that sound file will be played back.
Currently only WAV files are supported by the KDE System Sound Module. By default these WAV files must be located in the directory $(KDEDIR)/share/sounds. To assign other sound files to system events, just drag them from a kfm window onto the sound list.
Version 0.0.3 (Christian Czezatke)
Version 0.0.3 (Nov. 22nd, 1997) - uses KApplication::localconfigdir() - fixed a bug that messed up the assignments of system sounds to events in some cases when WAV files were dropped on the sound list - initial help page written - german nationalisation added. (email me if you want to add antother language to syssound). - syssounds is now based on kexample-0.5.1. This and the move to the kcontrol interface finally removed the compile problems - prepared syssound.cpp for internationalisation (thanks to Matthias Hoelzer) - Adapted syssound to the new kcontrol interface that replaces kcc now, so syssound works with the current kde snapshots now. (thanks to Matthias Hoelzer) Version 0.0.2 (Oct. 21st, 1997) - Moved README from "syssound/syssound" to "syssound" and updated it a bit. - Moved the file "COMPILING.TXT" from "syssound/syssound" to "syssound". - Made the placement of the configuration file compliant with the new KDE convention. The sound configuration is now stored in $HOME/.kde/share/config/kwmsoundrc - Brushed up the look of the config dialog a bit. It now supports keyboard accelerators and has labels for the listboxes. - Added support for Droping WAV Files onto the WAV Filelist (currently, only file:/ URLs are supported, .WAV Files are recognized by the extension ".wav" (in small letters). - Sound configuration now works with KDE Beta1 too (no more "pure virtual function called" or "only root can run this module" error messages. Version 0.0.1 (initial release)
