[ I've CC'd Debian's evolution mantainer in the CC list. Also, CC me in replies as I'm not sub'd to the list ]
FYI, I just read the wonderful history of this feature request. http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437 From that thread, it seems Jeff Stedfast was the one who added this support. It seems it depends on libgnome. Well Debian has tons of libgnome libs. And I have installed 29 of them. Just which one has gnome_sound_play -- I am not sure yet. I'll play with enabling esd now, see if that kicks it off. On Mon, Jun 07, 2004 at 12:40:26PM -0400, Luis R.
