Ok, so I decided to go with Pidgin, since it would be trivial to install with the base PCLinuxOS that I’ve been forced to work with due to a recent misadventure.

But after some playing, it seems that Pidgin cannot play sounds with respect to IRC. I can configure everything just fine, and the sound tests fine, but no IRC event will trigger the sound.

Sigh.
