Another idea:

How about configuring the sound it makes?  Right now it beeps whenever
someone talks.  This is nice, especially if people aren't very talkative
and you want to know when people start talking.

But, how about having some sound options?  When someobdy talks, it could
play  something (I'm thinking of that cool track from the Peanuts/Snoopy
when they talk to somebody on the phone -woo-wa-woo-woo-wu).  

You could also have sounds for when somebody enters or exits a room (a
squeeky door opening, or a door slamming.)  You could even have sounds for
the special effects like jumping and shiver.

I guess the general case is to have every "event" tied to a sound and then
have a sound configuration center where people select which sounds are
associated with which events.  A sound for a file dropped.  A sound for
moving around the screen....  

A more complicated idea would be that each person has their own sound,
just like they have their own avatar.  I worry this would become obscene
however, so I prefer the earlier ideas above.
