For IRC lovers who also happen to love and use Linux, I have some good news for you! I have created hooks for the Smuxi IRC client that add sound support for message events. So far only send and receive are supported along with a different sound if your name is mentioned in a message, but more are on the way! Smuxi is extremely accessible, Orca supports auto reading of messages received and sent automatically, the only thing missing was sound support. Instructions on using the hooks as well as the hooks themselves are here:
