[gui-talk] Is there a way? about IE7 and Favorite Center

[Wayne Merritt]

Apologies for the late reply. There will be no sound when a feed is
updated. The sound is for when you browse to a page that has RSS
feeds, in which case you will hear a small beep from IE letting you
know that RSS feeds are there. Also, if you're using JAWS, it will
tell you as well. I don't know of anyway to be notified by sound that
a feed has been updated, other than by looking in the feed list for
the new indication in parentheses. Perhaps other RSS feed
readers/aggrigators have this advantage, I don't know.

Good luck,
Wayne
