I'm afraid that's not true Matt. The only sleep statement, or even non-zero duration, in our shutdown sequence is between sending the TERM and KILL signals now; and that sleep statement is by far the longest period within the entire sequence.
A fast machine is able to reach the point at which the sound card is muted in well under a second. I would say that we should keep the sound short and simple -- Shutdown sound is truncated https://launchpad.net/bugs/61530 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
