Is there any way to attach sounds to system functions like
logout, killing a process, deleting a file, etc?

I know Preferences can be used to set the system beep, but I'd like
finer control. (My machines name is Arnold---as in Schwarzenegger---which
opens up the possibility for a great many amusing voice annotations
for these functions. For example, on shutdown, I'd like it to
say ``I'll be back'', from the movie Terminator, and when I kill 
a process, I'd like it to take the quote from Commando:``Remember when
I said I'd kill you last? I lied.'')
