Actually, after having thought about this again, I basically agree.  I
guess that a single button for all is sort of assumed to stay there,
though, seeing as how the latest control-center allows you to switch all
sounds off with one checkbox, or even switch the sound server startup off!

Overall, pretty nice IMO, but it could use checkboxes for individual sounds
as well, as well as perhaps some sort of "Sound Themes" configuration.
