Speech-dispatcher: do any modules/backends support playing sound-icons ?

hi
As far as I know, espeak does. The issue is that sond icons are not
usually included in speech-dispatcher packages by default, and they're
not usually in linux distribution repositories. I remember actually
grabbing the sound icons package once, but never got it working. This
is one area that might need help from distro maintainers. I can
probably get someone to include a sound icons package in arch if it
will get at least a little use
Thanks
