Comment (by coling):
You've not mentioned what version of pulse you are using, not which
version of gnome you are using.
These days, Gnome does not do it's own sounds but rather implements the
sound theme spec at a GTK level and triggers some sounds (e.g. startup) in
gnome-session (I think). This is done via libcanberra (a library which
implements the sound theme spec and written by the pulseaudio author!),
and it works very well with both pulseaudio 0.9.12 and alsa (including
alsa->pulse plugin provided the latest alsa 1.0.18rc3 is used).
Libcanberra is plugged into gnome via a GTK module so event sounds are
more or less automatic in all GTK apps.
