redpen686 posted modified sounds to gaim-devel:
"The tones were sampled at 44.1 KHz (with a range of up to 22.05 KHz),
which is fine, but since the tones are only up to ~3 to 4 KHz, a lot of
space could be saved by downsampling.
I went to 11,025 Hz, since it is already enough for these frequencies,
and it's also the lowest common denominator for soundcards (rather than
8 or 16 KHz, for example).
The 'alert' sound needed a lowpass filter, but only because of the
high-pitched attack, which people won't notice anyway.
All are still 16-bit, and in stereo (except for the 'alert' sound, which
didn't need it), and so should sound virtually identical."
These are significantly smaller files and I didn't notice a difference in
the sound (of course, my speakers suck). They're also louder, which is good.
I'm committing these so people can try them out.

This file describes how to compile and run gaim with dbus support. Hopefully, most of the steps from point 3 will soon be automated. 1. Make sure you have the latest version (0.34) of the dbus library installed, including glib bindings. http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/dbus 2. Compile gaim ./configure --enable-dbus make make install 3. Configure your dbus instalation for gaim A. Find your dbus session configuration file, usually /etc/dbus-1/session.conf B. In that file, find the <servicedir> section. This section contains the directory that stores files describing services, usually /usr/share/dbus-1/services C. Copy src/dbus-gaim.service to that directory D. Edit the dbus-gaim.service file you've just copied, and replace the path in the "Exec=" line with the path to your gaim executable. 4. Start Session DBUS if you haven't done it already eval `dbus-launch --session` export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID These commands will set the two above shell variables. These variables must be set before running any dbus-aware programs. Start gaim as usual. To communicate with it, use "gaim-send". When you execute gaim-send, the dbus system will automatically start a gaim process if one is not running already.
