The application knows where the sound goes, it installed it. I'm
failing to see what localisation is required for sounds
except in the case where the audio-channel test sounds are speech.

Sure it does, it makes it harder to make a sound theme, and given that
there currently isn't a complete sound theme
(the official sound-theme-freedesktop only has 41 sounds currently, I
don't think its a good idea to be adding more names to the list)
It also makes it even more sounds to learn.
