https://bugs.gentoo.org/323379 (some history)
media-libs/libcanberra is still broadly used as sound event library, even media-video/pipewire[X] depends on it, and KDE Plasma packages as well.
media-libs/libcanberra has IUSE=+sounds, which currently pulls in x11-themes/ sound-theme-freedesktop. But it can be replaced by other sound themes as long as they adhere to freedesktop.org spec, which essentially seems to come down
to standardised notification sound names and some index file in
/usr/share/sounds/<theme-name>/index.them
In KDE world there are two alternatives:
- kde-plasma/ocean-sound-theme
- kde-plasma/oxygen-sounds
But it is possible there are other themes already in ::gentoo that I am not aware of, or maybe other DE maintainers have their own ideas, so CCing
relevant maintainers.
Current x11-themes/sound-theme-freedesktop RDEPENDs:
gnome-base/gnome
gnome-extra/gnome-tweaks
kde-plasma/kpipewire
kde-plasma/plasma-pa
media-libs/libcanberra-0.30-r7:sound
There are also a few media-libs/libcanberra[sound] revdeps that are addressed in the linked PR.
Subject: [PATCH] virtual/sound-theme: new package, add 0
- IUSE sound: derived from media-libs/libcanberra[sound]
- KEYWORDS: derived from x11-themes/sound-theme-freedesktop
plus ~s390 for media-libs/libcanberra
