[Bug 155648] Re: Regression: Thunderbird New Mail sound cuts off before end

[chocolateboy]

I have this issue in Thunderbird as well. I also have it in Firefox via
the DownThemAll! extension, which has an option to play a sound when the
download has finished.

Last time I looked at this, this was the most likely culprit:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/widget/src/gtk2/nsSound.cpp

Some data points:

1) I don't know if this is always the case, but the last few times I've
rebooted, my mail notification has  been truncated as soon as I've
started Thunderbird, even if it's the first app to start. i.e. there are
no obvious culprits that are conflicting with or breaking Seamonkey
sound playback.

2) The truncation comes and goes. My Thunderbird/DTA wavs aren't getting
cut off at the moment.

3) Here are some links I found the last time I sleuthed this. The latter
suggests that the issue may be cross-platform:

4) I have the following esd-flavoured packages installed:

libesd-alsa0
gstreamer0.10-esd

5) Specs:

Linux 2.6.22-14-generic
Thunderbird 2.0.0.12
Firefox 2.0.0.13 and/or Swiftweasel 3.0b4.5
Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)
