 Description   

The Player.playSound(Location location, String name, float volume, float pitch); is marked as deprecated. If this gets removed we are going to lose the ability to play sounds from custom resource packs.

If however this needs to by removed we need a new API that will allow the playback of custom sounds.

Opened up PR Bukkit #75 to patch.

I agree with the first part of your answer. However I do not agree that it should by replaced with enum version of the function.
1 there is a enum version of playSound that uses the Sound class/enum
2 if you stick only to enum version you won't be able to play custom sounds from custom resources. For example if I have "myserver.mission" sound in my custom resource pack then I need to send the name of the sound using playSound.

A lot of stuff is still deprecated from the Bukkit days.
Last I heard they said eventually someone would need to sort through it all and decide what should be removed and what should be kept.
So, In this case deprecated does not necessary mean it will be removed.
PS: It will most likely be replaced with a similar function, however with name replaced with an Enum value.
