  KF5 kmix has it as non-optional dependency too, so I think that should not be 
issue.

  It's played even if there is something playing. It uses the notification 
sounds event type, so if the user has it muted there will be no volume feedback 
sound even when enabled.
  Also it is not trivial to detect if there is nothing playing, user may have 
for example some app that sets very low volume for its stream, or even there 
may be stream that is playing silence.

  I don't think it's technically feasible to detect if something else is 
playing. In general, I agree, but once you look closer, it's really 
complicated, too complicated, in fact.

  If not, it should be done like that. If you already have something playing, 
it's just annoying to play an additional sound, and does not provide any 
additional info because you notice how loud whatever is playing plays.

  Can we expect canberra to be available everywhere PA is?
  
  It seems that it's just playing a short ticking sound, perhaps we can avoid 
the dependency easily?
