Description of problem: I'm getting no notification sound when I configure to use one. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I compiled the rawhide package on F8: gnome-applet-timer-2.0.1-1.fc8.x86_64 How reproducible: all the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure to play notification sound, default or custom 2. set a timer 3. timer completes 4. no sound Actual results: no sound Expected results: sound Additional info: It seems debian patched in a fix: - use gstreamer instead of gnome.sound_play (Closes: #408396) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=408396
Actually I do have sound and I'm also using a recompiled version of the rawhide package on F8.
Interesting. Seems gnome.sound_play() doesn't work for some reason on my machine. Going through gstreamer works fine though.
Ok, I think I see the problem, gnome.sound_play->gnome_sound_play->esd. esd/pulseaudio never worked properly on my machine, but that's not your problem. I guess I'll live with the current situation as is. thanks.
I'll do some more testing on other machines. If I hit the same problems than you I'll apply the patch. Thanks for the hint anyway.
Since I cannot reproduce this anywhere I will close it NOTABUG. If someone else hits it feel free to reopen. Thanks.
