How to get sound_name to work?

I'm on Arch, and have sound-theme-freedesktop installed, and all the sounds can be found in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo.

I'm using the convenience method sound_name in the builder pattern and passing "alarm-clock-elapsed", which should play the sound /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/alarm-clock-elapsed.oga.

However, it just doesn't seem to work. I made sure my sound was all the way up and every other sound is normally working. I understand that not all features may work, but I'm curious as to how anyone else has gotten it working? Am I missing something here?

I've tried on dunst, xfce4-notifyd, lxqt-notificationd, and mate-notification-daemon. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_notifications#Notification_servers

TBO I never really go that to work, it's either broken in my implementation or it's just specified, but non of the servers actually implement it 🤷‍♂

I'm going to try to get it implemented in dunst, but that'll take a while, you can close this issue if you would like.
