From what I've found, there doesn't appear to be a way to query for a sounds list. Here's the code I use to build a sound list:

#define SystemLibrary() @"/System/Library/"
#define AllUsersLibrary() @"/Library/"
#define UserLibrary() [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Library/"]


#define SoundsDirectory(base) [base stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Sounds"]

NSArray *knownSoundTypes = [NSSound soundUnfilteredFileTypes];

searchPaths = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
        SoundsDirectory(SystemLibrary()),
        SoundsDirectory(AllUsersLibrary()),
        SoundsDirectory(UserLibrary()),
        nil];

e = [searchPaths objectEnumerator];
while (soundDirectory = [e nextObject])
{
if ([fm fileExistsAtPath:soundDirectory isDirectory:&isDir])
{
if (isDir)
{
fileEnum = [[fm directoryContentsAtPath:soundDirectory] objectEnumerator];


while (soundFile = [fileEnum nextObject])
{
if ([knownSoundTypes containsObject:[soundFile pathExtension]])
{
[sounds addObject:[soundFile stringByDeletingPathExtension]];
}
}
}
}
}


sortedSounds = [[sounds allObjects] sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(compare:)];

The documentation for NSSound says the name may be
"One of the named system sounds provided by the Application Kit"

By experimentation, I see that the names "Tink", "Basso", etc. (from
the Sound Preferences Panel) work fine as sound names.  I wish to
construct a  popup menu with these predefined sounds, but I feel
nervous about hardcoding the list... Is there documentation that lists
a minimum set of sound names that will always be present? Or is there
an API that gives me a list of sounds names?  NSSound.h doesn't seem
to mention either, nor does a google search come up with much.
