+RULES:
+ Similar to those defined by gnome-audio, quoting Elliot Lee:
+
+ <snip>
+ The criteria for sound inclusion:
+ . No licensing issues
+ . Appropriate length
+ . Shorter than 1 second for any sound that denotes a specific event
+ . Shorter than 5 seconds for a background sound (basically, startup/shutdown)
+ . Appropriate sound
+ . Volume
+ . Normalized between samples
+ . Spectral range
+ . No extremes
+ . Good taste
+ . KISS
+ . General common sense (hah!)
+ </snip>
+
+ Of course, in addition to this the Theming Spec not only requires
+ normalized sounds, but those with with good perceived loudness as
+ described in:
