** Description changed: + * Impact + The package force load a bell sound which can conflicts with the user configuration + + * Test case + - Enable a login sound in session + - Login into a GNOME/Ubuntu session + -> the configured sound should be played + + * Regression potential + Try other desktop environments to make sure their login sound behaviour isn't changed, it shouldn't since the customization dropped was specific to the Ubuntu sound theme + + ------------------- + The package `pulseaudio` installs a startup script in `/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop`, which itself runs `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`, which loads a number of x11 related modules in `pulseaudio`. One of these modules is `module-x11-bell`, which makes `pulseaudio` play a sound each time a system bell is emitted (usually by terminal applications, such as bash or vim). This is redundant with gnome-shell, which is also able to handle the system bell (through the gsetting key `org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds`). The gnome system bell is directly configurable by the user (Settings > Sound), so it should be preferred over pulseaudio's own system bell. I suggest to patch the `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`, to avoid loading `start-pulseaudio-x11` if it detects it is running in Gnome Shell (e.g. if GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE is set).
