Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-sounds

In the Sound Preferences/Sounds tab, if I activate "Play alert sound" then I get

pulseaudio[23214]: sound-file.c: Failed to open file /usr/share/sounds/gtk-events/activate.wav: No such file or directory

in the syslog instead of a sound in the speakers. That sound file exists in the gnome-audio package, but this package conflicts with it.

Setting a sound file specifically for the "Alert sound" event doesn't help.

The ubuntu-sounds package version is 0.10, dist is intrepid.

Might add that even though this problem partly is due to stale defaults and an apparently hardcoded path in some Gnome daemon, it'd be good if ubuntu-sounds either ceased to conflict with gnome-audio, or provided all the sounds from the latter.
