[Koha] sound cues, plus receipt printing

[carpentercarselibrary at gmavt.net]

Hi, Sharon.  We're testing checkin/checkout sounds right now on our Koha
system and should have it in production within the next week.

We've also got direct-to-the-printer receipt printing working, as well, if
anyone is interested.
