Add support for audible notifications in Linux and WSL. #968
Labels
area: notifications
missing feature: user
A missing feature for all users, present in another Zulip client
platform: linux
platform: WSL
This issue is drawn-out from #887.
Currently, ZT supports audible notification only in OSX. We need to extend the support for other platforms as well. From a brief recent discussion in #development help, we are thinking of using a system package(like
paplay
frompulseaudio-utils
) that should be included in most UNIX-based systems, so that we don't end up with another dependency(as with desktop notifications).We should also ensure that we already have a robust fall-back in place, for some systems that are missing the above package. One approach as suggested in the above discussion is to use terminal-bell, though we are open to other methods for this.
Finally, this should all be wrapped up as an option on a per-stream basis too as requested in #887.
