  Most definitely not.  The configure check must stay as it is, just let users 
have no default sound effects.  I basically disabled sound in KDE a long time 
ago because I'm tired of more and more bloat and still the same old crashes.

   Thankfully KDE 4 isn't too far away so we can get rid of this whole 
abomination, have only apps that actually use multimedia link to it, and the 
rest of us can have small fast binaries again.
