acra Notification channel sound

Hello. I couldn't find this information anywhere in the documentation, so I'm asking here. Why is the sound for notifications forcibly disabled for a notification channel, regardless of the importance level set for the channel? Is there a reason behind this? If not, it seems it would be useful to have an option in the configuration for this. In general, I would like to be able to use the default notification sound.

Tbh I don't remember why it is that way - maybe to keep consistency with older devices? Or might just be that I hate notification sounds :joy: Did some digging - it has been like this since 2017 https://github.com/ACRA/acra/commit/49812be5ac9431031bb7ee703eaa8f0bb06b434f#diff-d9a3a56280722593595f1cf8bee2221ca10fa85c2ed1132b6fa7b0cb9f5bba45R77

I agree it should be configurable. Actually maybe it'd be best to let the user create the channel, I'm just not sure how to integrate that into the API without breaking changes.

v5.12.0 allows you to set up your own notification channel with whatever sound and other options you want - ACRA will not create a the channel in this case.
