    Latest update broke some system sound notifications?

    After this morning's update I noticed I was no longer getting a sound when toggling numlock or capslock.

    First, I went into system settings and discovered they had moved the sounds from /usr/share/sounds/oxygen/ to /usr/share/sounds/oxygen/stereo but linked to the new sound files.

    Assuming maybe the link was the issue, I changed the file location (and name - they changed those too) I still got no sound and testing the sound in System Settings produced no audio output.

    Checking syslog revealed:
    Code:
    message repeated 16 times: [ org.kde.kcm_notifications: Failed to play sound "file:///usr/share/sounds/oxygen/stereo/message-contact-out.ogg" with canberra: Invalid argument]


    I also cannot play the two .ogg sounds I use for my notification with Elisa - they show up as a "failed" icon. So I cleared my playlist and loaded all the sounds. Of the 63 sound files in my oxygen sound folder 12 are invalid. Then I went to the "ocean" sounds and had similar results: of 40 sounds 10 are invalid. I then played all 40 of the Ocean sounds with Audacity and all played without issue.

    So changing the sound files seems to have stopped the error messages but it still doesn't work - on any user.
