I would love to be able to have different volumes for each event.  Right now my clicking as I scroll through games is drowned out by my background music.  Other thatn that I can't think of any sounds to remove or add.

I'd like to be able to set the background music volume level relative to the sound effects, but I wouldn't need individual sound effect levels, personally.

Hmm, as for volumes...

I *could* make it possible to set the volumes for each sound effect, but IMO that should be done in a sound editor (ie get all sounds the same level).

But yes, it will be possible to set a different volume for music / sounds :)

That's what I meant.  I don't need individual volumes for each sound.  That's too much. ;D

I was reading a couple of the suggestions people had on the other board.  sorry I didn't post there but I'm at work and haven't had time to register over there yet.  

I think having the background volume change when another sound activates is possibly a bad idea.  If the background music changes volume everytime you select a game because it has a sound associated with it, it's gonna constantly fade in and out.  If you were to implement that, I would suggest a way to turn it off.  Just my $.02

True.  To be honest I don't think I'll add that feature, as you can set different sound / music levels - I think that is enough.
