hiya folks,

yes, Kapiti do indeed have an 'audio-cues' mod on their koha.

a quick look in the tmpl files seems to indicate a simple <embed> tag  
doing the magic, woo!...


<!-- TMPL_IF Name="good_return" -->
     <!-- Play a sound if the item was returned properly -->
         <EMBED SRC="<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME='themelang' -->/includes/ 
sounds/ding.wav"
              type="audio/wav" autostart=true hidden=true loop=1  
height=60 width=128 </embed>
<!-- /TMPL_IF -->

this 'just-works' on my firefox3, at least

hopefully, the above example should be a good start to your success,  
happy ding-ing... :)

Mason.
