+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:
