Are there any plans to replace the sound theme in Maverick?  For Lucid 
there was an effort to find a sound theme through the community through 
Ubuntu forums <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1430480&page=9> 
and Launchpad bug #539169 
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-sounds/+bug/539169>.  
Ultimately it was decided that there wasn't enough time to replace the 
Lucid sound set before release.

I am the musician behind the favored sound set 
<http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44481260/Ubuntu_Light_sound_theme_1.0.tar.gz> 
from those efforts, and I want to make sure that I can provide 
everything that is needed for the new sound scheme.  My goal so far has 
been to produce more than one possibility for each sound so those on the 
design team can choose what they think works the best.  Obviously it 
will all need to be appropriately packaged into a GNOME sound theme at 
some point, which I don't know how to do, but I could probably figure it 
out if necessary.  I figured it would be best to provide options first 
and let the design guys decide on the final theme.

So I guess I just need to know the following:

   * What sounds are currently missing from my theme that need to be
     created?
   * Is a sound theme change still in consideration for Ubuntu?
   * Is my sound theme going in a satisfactory direction, or would you
     rather look elsewhere for a new sound theme?

I'm willing to work with the design team on whatever changes are 
requested, and I hope I can give back to Ubuntu even a fraction of what 
Ubuntu has given me over the years.
