[Psi-devel] Usability: DND status vs. Play Sound Button

That makes sense. We'll probably do it in 0.12.

I can't remember there ever being such a checkbox. We could make it a
hidden option in 0.12. But why would you want sounds if you just
stated that you do not want to be disturbed?

Sounds like opening a can of worms. Anyway, we're changing the status
code in the next release to be more flexible in things to 'set' for
different status presets (avatars, moods, ...); we could discuss it
then.

Have you tried using the QCA bundled with Psi?
