Cool, Hasan. I want it when you're done. Now for the random thought. Just for a hoot, does anyone else think it might be a good idea to move sounds.py into skin.py or something like that? I'm thinking this would allow skin developers a chance to add sound themes to their skins without screwing up the users configs. I mean, it would have to be conditional as to where it pulls it's sound definitions but that's easily do-able.
Of course, this also opens the door to making only sound themes for Freevo... Skins without sounds, Sounds with no skin, skins with sounds... I can see this going places.
