The spec doesn't allow you to delay notifications, the assumption is/was 
that as soon as you send the Notify request it appears on the screen.

In practice there may be a couple of seconds delay on some machines 
which have just done a large compile or whatever while stuff is loaded 
from disk. But I don't think that's worth putting audio into the server.

On most machines which aren't constantly flushing stuff out to disk and 
with the icon theme speed improvements that were talked about, there's 
no reason why notifications shouldn't appear nearly instantly.
