this is sound events, don't forget that. Quite frankly, most people have them
deatcivated anyway.

it's pretty unimportant anyway and there is a much better replacement
available. Hence I'd assume that the advantage of getting rid of this
legacy cruft will always be more attractive then keeping it around.
