I finally got around to building my own client from source (on Ubuntu) and the first thing I did was to add sound effects. I now hear a little pop whenever there's a transaction, and a chime when there's a new block.

It was easy, here's the diff for main.cpp, just 3 lines:

Code:
diff --git a/main.cpp b/main.cpp
index b7dfd9f..1196520 100644
--- a/main.cpp
+++ b/main.cpp

         CBlock block;
         vRecv >> block;

For snd_tx.wav I used http://www.series-of-articles.com/sfx/snd/pop.wav; for snd_blk.wav I used http://www.series-of-articles.com/sfx/snd/bell.wav.

A quick hack, but entertaining and informative.

Nice!

Could you make it configurable? This way, I think you could easily submit your patch, there's no reason to refuse these kind of things.
