[Bug 280625] Re: Evolution and Firefox uses the PC speaker for alerts

[Jonathan Ernst]

Sorry to have misspelled your name Alexander. I have updated the bug
summary so I hope it is more clear now.

** Description changed:

  Steps to reproduce :
  1) Let Evolution open in the background
  2) Receive an e-mail
  
  Expected result :
- 1) The sound defined in System/Preferences/sounds is played (In Intrepid, this sound doesn't seem to exist, that might trigger this bug) or no sound is played
+ 1) The sound defined for new e-mails in System/Preferences/sounds is played
  
  Actual result :
- 1) An alert from the PC speaker is heard (PC speaker sound by default in a 2008 modern desktop for incomming mail is really lame)
+ 1) An alert from the PC speaker is heard (PC speaker sound by default in a 2008 modern desktop for incoming mail is really lame)
+ 
+ Workaround :
+ If you uncheck "Enable alert sound", the PC speaker is not heard anymore, but neither is the defined sound. 
+ => I don't know why new e-mails trigger "Alert" instead of "New e-mail"
+ => I don't know why in this case the defined Alert sound is not played instead of using the PC speaker

+ A very similar bug affects Firefox : i.e. when no occurence of a search
+ string is found, it should play the defined error sound (or in
+ Intrepid's case no sound as the sound is not existent), but keep on
+ playing an alert on the PC speaker instead
