Re: [kde-artists] Start-up sound - Alpha 1

@Sebastian, @Martin: actually non-positive feedback is A LOT better than no
feedback at all; gives me hints about what to do and what is wanted by the
community. So, length is good, but the sound needs to be smoothed. A lot.

I'll work in another draft. We have a bit more than three weeks until the
artwork freeze, so, please, negative or positive, try to comment here soon
so I can hear you before the deadline :)
