Hi Todd,
I don't think it is a true core capability, considering that many if not the majority of applications built with Pharo are web-based. I don't think that Sound will rot now _if_ projects exist that are using it. If nobody is using and caring about it, then, yes, it may indeed rott. If really a lot of projects use Sound we could consider including it in the Pharo image. In any case, I strongly believe that making the image more modular and removing non-system/core behavior from the core image is the way to go. Also, keeping code in the image does not guarantee it does not rott (see e.g., EToys).
+1 if one package can live without strict dependency on some other package, then it should.
Cheers, Adrian

I understand wanting to limit dependencies and clean stuff up - but is there a particular reason why we don't think the basic ability to play sounds belongs in a base application development environment?
Seems like a core capability and I worry about sound rotting if it doesn't live in the base image.

Hi Gary,
In the Pharo project, there is a new version of Polymorph with these changes.

Hi Gary,
I'm working on removing the Sound package. Polymorph's SoundTheme class has some methods that reference RestSound.
For instance:
windowRestoreDownSound ^self sounds at: #windowRestoreDown ifAbsent: [RestSound dur: 0]
Could we change these methods, for example like this:
windowRestoreDownSound ^self sounds at: #windowRestoreDown ifAbsent: [self defaultDefaultSound]
and then
defaultDefaultSound ^ Beeper default
Projects that use sound can then load the Sound package and define their own SoundTheme. If this is OK with you I'll do these changes in Pharo and you can pick them up and merge them later.
