[Bug 1317456] [NEW] ignores "Play a sound" config in preferences

Thu May 8 09:59:38 UTC 2014

Public bug reported:

Thunderbird on Ubuntu, since 13.10 or earlier, ignores the "Play a
sound" options in Preferences -> General.

I have had to resort to overwriting the file
/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/dialog-question.ogg with a silent ogg
file in order to silence it.  (I need system sounds turned on generally
so I can hear incoming skype calls ringing and a few other important
things.)
