Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-
First of all, a quick introduction to the (unfortunately not very well-known) component we have had for a few releases now, called libCanberra, which is used for sound events in the same style as icons.

- please play volume change sound effect (audio-volume-change) when volume - is changed, like upstream + the volume changed sound effects don't work on Ubuntu |
update_dialog is still called with our patch, else the notification wouldn't work (the hooks for the libnotify notification are in update_dialog, so I'm not sure why you think it's never called)
