I think it *relay* shuld, and sugest this adition to the *"Server 
Capabilities"

"sound": The server play sounds for notifikations. If this is true the 
clients shuld newer play sound for notifikations! This does not mean the 
server have to obey sound hints, but it may.

Ratonal: It is realy silly if apps have to guess depending on 
implementation of the notifikation server whether they should play sound 
them self or not. Have to configure this in every client is also a pain. 
When it simply can be automaticly determed thru the "**Server Capabilities"!

Posably a boolean "supress-sound" may be added to messages for 
aplikations that *want* to play the sound themself. But I'm not sure 
that this flexability to overide any futer sound them is a pro or a con :-/
