In that context, it doesn't make sense to use KDE's notification sounds for apps running on OS X or MS Windows, presumably, if they can be replaced with native counterparts *by default*. By all means give the user tools to break his system, but defaults should be sensible in a way that the application does not look and behave like an alien app. On a side note, KNotification doesn't really have much other use on ~X11 than playing sounds.
