There's a third party hack for this, but it's not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6. http://unsanity.com/haxies/xounds Steve

You just need to know where the sound files are, and have some replacement sound files of the same format to put in their place. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

It was possible to do this at the time of ShapeShifter, but I haven't seen anything since then that could assign sound to varius processes in OS X, - and ShapeShifter stopped working with OS X 10.4.11 and it only worked with PowerPC pricessors - so no sound assign on Intel Macs and 10.5+.... Anyway... I found this old tool from 2002, but whether it will work at all I donot know but I doubt it will... - It's freeware.

It just brings back the classic OS 9.x sounds in OS X.
