Comment 7 for bug 246996

Yannick, this no longer appears to be a problem in Jaunty. I conducted the following test:

- Vanilla installation of Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 64-bit with all updates to today installed.
- Went to System->Preferences->Sound and then clicked on the Sounds tab.
- Enabled the "Play sound effects when buttons are clicked" checkbox.
- Confirmed that the default beep sound plays for the "Toggle button clicked" sound event in the Sound Preferences tool (but clicking on the triangle play button).
- Changed the "Toggle button clicked" sound event to another sound (in this case, the "question.wav" file).
- Confirmed that the new sound plays by clicking on the triangle play button.
- Closed the Sound Preferences.
- Logged out and then back in again.
- Launched Ekiga (v3.2.0 as bundled with Jaunty).
- Setup an account. Noted that the new question.wav sound did indeed play when I clicked on checkbox buttons.
- Setup a Logitech Communicator STX webcam which includes a built-in mic. Ekiga automatically detected and setup the device for me.
- Conducted an Echo Test call. I could hear the echo tester and was able to successfully record and hear back my own voice.
- Further random changes in Sound Preferences did not appear to affect Ekiga.

Repeated the above test with a Ubuntu Jaunty 32-bit installation in a Virtualbox VM with the same results, ie: no problems.

As a side note, starting Ekiga with "pasuspender" appears to work fine as well.

Conclusion: The problem that was originally raised by me with Hardy has been resolved in Jaunty (I never actually tested in Intrepid because I switched to Skype at that time).
