[Pkg-urxvt-maintainers] Bug#633989: rxvt-unicode: add -blc option to specify command to play instead of sounding bell

[jamie]

Package: rxvt-unicode
Version: 9.11-2
Severity: wishlist


mrxvt has a very useful option:

-blc cmd

It allows you to pass a command to a program to run whenever you would
have a bell sound.

It's particularly useful when ssh'ing to a remote host and running irssi
in a screen session. It allows you to be notified locally when a bell
event happens (when someone sends you a private msg for example). 

The visual bell option is not useful in this situation since you can't
see it when you are on a different desktop. And the audible bell is just
annoying to everyone within ear shot.

Thanks!
