Bug#1088608: mumble: Inform about "mute cue" sound for ver 1.5

[Chris Knadle]

Hello Benedikt.

This is probably something configurable in Settings -> Messages to 
choose notifications and notification sounds. I suggest having a look 
there and see if that covers what you're concerned about.

I'm trying to figure out if it be a violation of Debian Policy to 
trigger a new user configuration, which would likely require removing 
the old client configuration. That doesn't sound like something a Debian 
package should do -- but offhand I haven't yet found the section in 
Debian Policy that discusses configuration files in a user's home 
directory or in a shared database.

If there's a way to trigger the notice you'd like to see without 
removing the user's client configuration, that would probably be okay. 
Offhand I don't know how that would be done or what triggers the notice. 
If you have information on how to do this, let me know, as at that point 
it would be possible to trigger the package to do it, assuming it seems 
reasonable.

Thanks
