Optional support is already in epiphany 2.24, I also attached patches
for empathy and gnome-applets, the API is really friendly:
  empathy: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528929
  g-applets: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543875

Marc-Andre Lureau suggested that for the epiphany patch maybe we
should have considered modifying libnotify instead. Thing is that
right now you can't tell canberra that a libnotify popup is the
"source" of the sound, which beats the idea of spatial sounds.
That discussion (just 2 or 3 comments) is in the epiphany bug about this:
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542693

Besides saying that the API is really simple to use, I can't comment further :).
