Message notification sound

[ugm6hr]

Nexus 7 (unrooted JB) to Galaxy Ace (rooted cyanogenmod 7) messaging on mesh (local wifi network via home router); Galaxy Ace has WhatsApp installed:
Notification on receipt of message plays last audio message sent from whatsapp - stored in "/mnt/sdcard/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Audio"
Deleting the audio file returns notification to standard message tone.

This is a bit strange and may be a bug with WhatsApp rather than our application. We simply pass android the Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND flag.
However we should add a preference to allow the user to select from any of the installed notification sounds which should allow you to work around this issue.

On further testing, it does seem this is a WhatsApp bug, since it affects other notifications (not just batphone), and only when an outgoing audio message is present on WhatsApp.
I will follow up with their developer.

Issue #86 added the new preference.
