I see a nightmare in this!

If the notification service may play or may not play sound depending on 
implementation, apps have to guess if the implementation play sound or 
not, and from that deside if they shuld play sound themself or not. Then 
some stuff works togheter, some need tveking and some just wont work! 
The old X mess we all try to get away from :-(

At least take in the spec a way for apps to ask the notifikation service 
if it take responsability for sound or not!
