[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for your bug report, do you still get the issue? could you describe how to trigger it?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

[Expired for gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Anders Kaseorg (andersk)]

I reproduced this three times, by going to the Sound control panel and repeatedly changing the alert sound.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug hasn't seen any activity in years and there has been no recent similar reports, the code also changed quite a lot since and it's likely the issue doesn't exist anymore. Closing, feel free to open a new report if you still get problems in recent Ubuntu versions
