Sounds configuration

Hello Alex,

You are of course right. The current situation does not
allow  for 
centralized notification management so we'd need to add the
possibility 
for modules to register the resources that they use for
event notification.

I was wondering though, whether the AudioNotificationService
is the best 
place to implement this. It did seem like a good idea
originally, but 
after I started implementing it in there I thought that it
would be nice 
if in addition to sound notifications we could also
configure systray 
popups, commands to run and other stuff that has nothing to
do with 
audio. I was therefore thinking of creating a new service
called:

EventNotificationRegistryService

Modules that would need to register events would do so in
this registry 
service.

What do you think? Does this make sense to you?

Cheers
Emil
