User:Bille I like them too. I listened to them cold, ie without reading the design yet, to get a clean first impression.

The first time I thought they sounded a bit Bontempi but that was through the X60's tiny speaker. With desktop speakers they sound good, plenty of breadth to the sounds.

2 observations, forgive me if these are known about:

• The login/logout sounds are distorted at any level on my sound card. It's the third to sixth notes played on the right (i think) hand at the beginning of the login sound that are too loud and especially distorted.

• The im.msg.in/out sounds are fine played alternately (try "while true; do ogg123 im.msg.in.ogg; ogg123 im.msg.out.ogg; done") but get monotonous when one side is not replying.

Could I suggest the maker does an additional 'in' and 'out' sound, slightly lower than the first one, that quality IM clients (Kopete ;)) can play alternately with the first one.

That way you would get a 'conversation' effect, read this from left to right with each char representing one message/SFX:

In: ^_    ^_^_^ ^_^_      ^_
 
Out:  *.*.     *    *.*.*.    and so on.
