Notifications in k3b don't play completely

[Romain Henriet]

Binary package hint: k3b

The sound notifications for success and error are only 1 second long when there are played by notifications system, while they are about 5s long when they are played by another sound player, mplayer for example.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test the current Ubuntu development version (10.10). If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #>, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

I had the same problem in 2 systems running Lucid. However, I found a fix here that says K3B doesn't play the sounds because they are .wav files but if you use .ogg file the sound plays completely and it worked for me!!
