 Hello,

 it would be great to have parameters that could be used inside a pounce
 (e.g. the name or the status of a buddy).

 I would like to use the pounce for an audio notification via the external
 programm espeak (on ubuntu linux). I can configure it in the pounce by
 using "run command", but I am not able to hand over e.g. the name of the
 buddy.

 I have found a similar patch in Ticket #1540. But it has not made its way
 to general version (at least not to V2.5.1). And it only concerns the
 buddy's name.

 Maybe you could create parameters like $POUNCEE or $STATUS, etc.

 Thanks in advance.

 Little.Ben
