Sound when there is a new game in the lobby

In Wesnoth 1.1.13 there is a sound signal when a player comes into the lobby.
A great thing would be adding another sound.
This new sound would be used for signaling if a new game has just been created in the lobby.

It could be useful if one is waiting for a new game while he's doing something else on his computer.

Good idea.

I've been planning on doing a set of new GUI sounds for a while (haven't really gotten around to it yet, besides a simple click sound

), so when I do, I should do new lobby sounds as well (the current ones are ok, but AFAIK taken from some other application) and this one along with them.

I like this idea.

also, it's better to put new games on the top and old/started ones on the bottom.

Please be careful about new sounds.

When I use ICQ, it has a lot of sounds for everything like "someone has logged in" etc... which is nice when you have 5 or 10 contacts. When you have 100 contacts, it is always playing some sound, which is completely distracting, and I have to turn off most sounds.

So unless there is an option is settings to turn off some sounds in lobby, please do not add too much sound. Well, thinking again... it probably will not be a big problem, because players do not spend much time in lobby... I do not have an idea how often such sound will be played -- but if often, please make it a silent and pleasant sound.
