The next Image is in the "notifications-capability.vala" file

I want to know how the sound are played? and what the type of it [ mp3, wav, etc..].

If there are video or something that explain it I will be thankful. And may be I will try to contribute so anyone can add a mp3 audio file to the notfication.

I tried to add wav audio and it works well. But I want to understand how it works maybe I can then edit the code so anyone can add mp3 audio file directly.

Hi :)

The sounds are handled in plugins/sounds/sounds-plugin.vala, the SoundManager class.

For ticking sound it uses gstreamer. For notifications it uses gsound / libcanberra. libcanberra is more lightweight and supports caching + it follow system rules for notification sounds (volume / mute).

The list of supported types are hardcoded in plugins/sounds/sound-player.vala , CanberraPlayer.get_supported_mime_types().

It could be that .mp3 is now supported.

GitHub didn't notify me of this comment. I searched for the application to check it. :3

Thanks for explain. I will try to learn more about it.

In main / 1.0-alpha it fallbacks to gstreamer now, so there's (almost) no file-format restrictions.
