the problem that customized soundfile for new mails not working most of the time exists since years until F15 a ugly workaround was add 3-5 seconds silence at the end of the soundfile with audacity since Fedora 15 this does also not work and there is something like a "plop" to hear or not to hear if you are not directly before your machine attached my soundfile
Created attachment 505829 [details] soundfile
(In reply to comment #0) > the problem that customized soundfile for new mails not working > most of the time exists since years Could you elaborate on "not working" a bit? For me setting sound to /usr/share/sounds/purple/receive.wav (for example) makes this sound just working. What's wrong? Thenk you for reporting the bug
not working = there is nothing to hear have you tried ma attachment? this did not work a long time and after adding 15 seconds silence it worked for some months and after F15-update it stopped again maybe becasue i am KDE user but on the other hand should it really not be a problem for thunderbird plaing sounds in a KDE session
Can you please try that in gnome? I'd like know if that's KDE specific or not. Thanks.
at least with Fedora 16 (upgraded recently) it starts to work again strange thing, hopefully it stays working
can we please have a kernel-3.3.4-3.fc16 currently only F17 package is available and F16 is the production system
Okay, please reopen if it starts to fail again. About the kernel, you have to a separate bug for the kernel component.
