Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I have two different systems a 32-bit and a 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
Jackalope. Version of gnome-control-center is "2.26.0-0ubuntu3". Under
both systems the following problem occurs:

The following sounds do not play, even if you customize them:

-Window maximized
-Window unmaximized
-Window minimized
-New e-mail
-Empty Trash
-Long action
-Battery warning

It is possible to hear the sound preview, hence the audio configuration
should not be the issue. On the same systems all other types of audio
output (videos, wavs, mp3s, etc) work just fine. Other sound events for
example those generated by Pidgin also work fine.

It appears that the sound is not triggered when the system event
actually occurs. The only sounds which are correctly executed are the
login sound (drums and music) and the "button click sounds" (which can
be selected/deselected in the Gnome Control Center.

This is just a small nuisance for common users, however for people with
visual impairment, who count on the audio feedback to know what the
computer is doing, may be a severe issue.  This should not be
overlooked.

Expected behaviour: "Certain system events initiate sounds, which can be 
customized"
Verified behaviour: "Some sounds (see above) are not initiated when the 
designated system event occur, independently of customization"
