Daniel, would you look into that? I think it should be a configurable sound (for people willing to edit a conf file!). The sound folks on the u-art list could then produce a boot sound, and a login sound. One request from the developer team (I'm at the sprint in Wiesbaden now) is that these sounds be shorter, of the order of 3-6 seconds. As an extra it would be nice if editing the sound did not create conf file conflicts on package upgrades. For example, if we ship edgy with sound X, and the user instead wants to play sound Y, we don't want a conffile conflict when the user upgrades to Edgy+1 and we have set the sound file to be Z. The user should continue to get Y. Does this sound doable (har har)? Mark </body> </html>
