Plasma Mobile needs a set of ringtones/alarm sounds. Since we're already working on a contest with LMMS to have a new sound theme for Plasma in general, now it's a good time to talk about Plasma Mobile.
Since ringtones are different and also more complex than just notification sounds, in order to not overwhelm contestants, we should probably expect the ringtones to be short loops of sound instead of full compositions. [[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JRox7UGTSI&t=0s | The classic iPhone ringtone is an example of a short and memorable song. ]]
**Ringtone contest rules draft:**
Ringtones with reverb/echo at the end should include at least one loop.
Sounds should be licensed under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 or compatible licence.
The final sound format must follow the [[ http://0pointer.de/public/sound-theme-spec.html | Freedesktop Sound Theme Specification ]], so:
>The sounds files must be one of the types: WAV/PCM 8-48kHz, 8/16 bits or OGG/Vorbis I. The extension must be ".wav", or ".oga" respectively (in lower case). It is not recommended to use ".ogg" extension, but it is also supported for legacy reasons.
Source files for the LMMS project must also be included.
The sounds must only include synthesis intruments or CC0 samples.

[] Define the number of ringtones/alarm sounds we need in total
