Phonon doesn't wire notification in the system sound, instead each time an
application send a notification, you will see a stream with the application
name pop in pavucontrol. For exemple when kopete sends a notification sound
because I received a new message, I see kopete appearing during 1 or 2 
seconds in the stream list of pavucontrol.

(Yes it sucks)
