Notification sounds aren't necessarily useful on desktop... #109

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

Notification sounds on desktop can be overly loud, especially if you keep the system volume at max and use volume controls built into programs for that purpose. As I don't have any system sounds that play (I find them annoying) I have exactly this setup.

On a mobile phone in my pocket, these sounds are great. On my desktop where I can see the toast, not as much, and considering the volume is up high, extremely jarring.

Can a method be built in where the Pullover client ignores all sound items and simply is set to silent at all times, or plays a singular sound regardless of the sending client's wishes? (This could be an silent .wav for my purposes.)

You can select the notification sound "None" in the soundlist. Will make this setting clearer in the next version
