Thanks for the response.
I tried this, but unfortunately did not get a peep out of it.
I can play CDs with internal speaker or headphones, with Amarok or KsCD,
but none of the Notifications seem to work.
Is there any CLI command for making a noise from a .ogg fil3
mplayer /usr/share/sounds/KDE-Sys-App-Message.ogg (or any .ogg file)
works for me...
