I love this and idea of having more than one sound scheme, but is this possible? Is there a link to documentation or some screenshot where is one able to place other sound schemes?
Also - is there any info when and how is boot sound triggered? It would be awesome if this could be a generative sound rather then just fixed into a wave form.
I agree and would be happy to help in promotion. Who do I contact for coordination on this? @nielx you have my contact
Choosing sound themes has yet to be implemented.
The Junto is doing alert sound suites this week!

I’ll be hemmed in at least part of the weekend by smoke, so I hope to be one of the participants.
OK - is choosing boot sound an option? Or more precisely can boot process trigger more than one just PCM format?
This is great!
This is not fully correct. Haiku itself doesn’t for sure.
But even if I’m not sure that it is the case for all of them ThemeManager allows to save system sounds.
If I understand you correctly, yes the startup sound set in the Sounds prefs is supposed to work.
Not sure I understand you correctly. I frankly don’t know where the startup sound is triggered in the boot process… But currently, only one single audio file is played back. Of course, you can always disable the startup sound and instead call anything from your UserBootscript.
The startup sound is apparently triggered whenever the media_addon_server completes starting up (just like in BeOS).
This is so awesome! I miss the old days where operating systems like Mac OS, BeOS, Ubuntu, etc. had nice system sounds giving useful audio feedback.
Do you have a specific implementation when and what is needed in mind to recreate that effect of ‘usefulness’?
I honestly don’t know if can help, but this is a collection of cool (mainly dubstep) music released under Creative Commons Attribution Int’l 4.0:

I’m currently working on this with the help of the community. So far, I’m just missing the zoom in/zoom out sounds and mouse down/up. When do the mouse sounds go off exactly?
Note, “Window zoomed” is just one sound.
Those mouse sounds don’t work yet AFAIK, but I bet “Mouse down” is when depress a mouse button and “Mouse up” is when you release it. Should be in sync with the mouse’s physical clickedy-click-switch.
Why would one need a mouse button down/up sound? All my mouse gives a satisfying click sound everytime. Maybe for trackpads?
Half the sounds are not what I would ever use. But as most(?) OS seem to have those sound events - even Haiku had them for forever (though non-working) - there probably is some use for them for some people.
I suppose at the least those sounds would spruce up tutorial videos. 
Apparently the system should go “wizz!” and “whoosh!” everytime you do something. Personally I think that this would be very irritating and I’d rather keep it silent. I don’t know if we can have a “keep it silent” option in the vote or if someone has to actually submit empty wav files for that 
Events like button up/down, zoom etc. should be disabled by default, and we’d need checkboxes next to each entry for that.
Plus we will probably need a drop down menu to switch between different installed sound themes…
