Create a custom 'flash screen' alert sound
Authored by: d.j.l. on Feb 03, '07 01:27:58AM

Seems, I jumped the gun on whether it works in Mail.app, sorry about that. Mail shows it as an option, but it does nothing.

I discovered this more than a year ago, and only just now took the time to make a hint. I thought I had tried other things, but I guess I did not.
So, it does not have to be broken alias, creating an empty file called "flash_screen.aiff" via touch in terminal or text edit does the trick.
(Thanks to everyone who pointed that out.)

It also seems like when alert is set to flash this way, no sound is played when adjusting the volume slider in the menu bar or in preferences. This is something I noticed when walking through the steps again to make the hint. Sometimes it will play basso, but it seem to be fix itself after a logout/login.
