Startup Sound

On starting OpenMoko (at least version 2007.2) a sound file is played. The default is actually quite loud. To change the sound that is played, perhaps to make it more discrete, we can edit the file /etc/pulse/session to replace:

load-sample startup /usr/share/openmoko/sounds/startup_openmoko.wav

with, for example:

load-sample startup /usr/share/openmoko/sounds/touchscreen_click.wav

We can specify any other wav file we wish to upload onto the device.

A quick review of the available sounds available by default in OpenMoko can be had with:

neo$ for i in /usr/share/openmoko/sounds/*.mp3; do madplay $i; done
