Hi,

     You might want to look into Ylib,
http://wolfpack.twu.net/YIFF

You need to add a Ylib initializer when you initialize
GTK and add a GTK timeout function that calls the Ylib
management function.

Once then you can write callbacks for events like
"button_press_event" and have them call a Ylib function
to play a sound.  There's a Ylib tutorial on the site
too.
