Thanks to Simon Swerwer, we now have voiceovers for Adventurer / Fortress mode speech.
Right now, it is rather simplified - who would dub all of the 126 variations of dwarf stating his desire to revenge? Also, coverage might be spotty for chat lines that I have never encountered. Thanks to everyone who sent me logs - they are most appreciated.
Feedback to latest pack is welcome!
Also, I was mostly busy with some other Dwarf fortress related tool which will eat most of my free DF related time until it is ready to be released:
Running on linux, soundSence.sh gives me an error:
soundSense.sh: 11: soundSense.sh: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then")
I can work around this by ignoring the script and setting the classpath manually, but it really should be fixed.
fi thing was supposed to work for most linux people. Maybe this is matter of different shell?
I notice that there don't seem to be a whole lot of alternative soundpacks floating around. While the official soundpack is a beautiful thing, I find that its realistic sounds seem to clash with DF's 'retro' look and feel, and I suspect that there may be other people who agree, just as there are people who prefer playing in ASCII rather than using graphic packs.
I would like to submit a stand-alone soundpack of my own for evaluation and criticism, and possibly use it as a springboard for creating an alternative retro-style soundpack. Although it was originally created for a specific mod, I have tested it in vanilla and have found it to work just as well there.

Cheers!
I very much appreciate your work on this :-), Glad to see people not only making their own packs, but also sharing them here.
When will a 40.08 compatible version be released? Getting constant crashes of soundsense during combat.
Er, it "only" reads the gamelog.txt logfile, there is no need to patch soundsense for any new DF version unless that version would change the name of that file or the way it logs stuff which is basically not happening.
Then why does combat and only combat consistently cause soundsense to crash, and how can i stop it?
Combat means a lot of sounds at same time - there is throttle to prevent worst, but some soundcard/driver combinations seem not to handle it well.
You can try disabling battle sounds - either in Currently Playing tab, change combo box with Play label for Everything (4) to some lower setting.
Or you can disable combat specifically in Sounds Configuration tab, select any combat xml and click Disable Group button - it should disable combat effects.
