Sound is an important element used to communicate with users. It is important, then, that there be a unified and simplified way of organizing sounds.

The contexts for a sound theme are (these are more or less placeholders as this schema is sorted out):

Table 1. Sound Theme Contexts
Name	Description	Directory
System Events	Sounds which are generally used to notify the user of events relating to the system, ie: startup, warning dialogs, etc	system
User Interface Events	Sounds associated with the desktop environment, such as minimize, shade, or kicker events	ui
Misc. Application Events	Sounds associated with application events, such as a successful cd burn, which don't fit within other categories	application

A list for now

Table 3. Menu UI
Name	Description	Filename
Menu Button Select	Selecting the K Menu	menu-button-select
Menu Browse	Browsing through the menu, on a new menu item hover	menu-browse
Menu Item Select	Selecting a menu item	menu-item-select
