Python gnome.sound_play method no longer seems to work on Gutsy

[Marc Tardif]

It used to be possible to play a sound file using the following Python code:

import gnome
gnome.sound_init("localhost")
gnome.sound_play("sound.wav")

However, this no longer seems to play any sound on Gutsy 20071016.1.

Using your code I have the same problem. Also, even if the filename given to the play_sound function is invalid no exception is raised.

is this still an issue with later releases?

This works fine on jaunty with the same example code you had provided, if it doesn't for you with that version, please re open the report and update the description/example if needed, thanks.
