So far we agree.  But one sound can't rule them all.  If I'm cooking in the
kitchen, I like hearing a small beep when I get mail.  I also like to hear a
sound when someone sends me private message on IM.  BUT, I want to be able to
differentiate those.  I don't run to check for every email, but there's a
sense of urgency to IM.  Or if my harddisk is just to die, that should really
shout "Your base is under attack!".
