Comment 7 for bug 252335

I know that there are problems with Intel HDA and the new Pulseaudio 0.9.11 or better said Alsa 1.0.17, but hey, there is some time left before Intrepid will be released. As far as I know there are some fixes under away for this problems.

Just one thought, as I understand it, if ubuntu could ship Pulseaudio 0.9.11 we could have some nice event sounds.

Take a look at this blog and bug report.
What I read tells me that the support for this will be possible for the next ubuntu release.

A short part of the release note of pulseaudio 0.9.11
* "Spatial" event sounds, i.e. sound events from UI elements are positioned in space, according to where they were triggered on the screen (click on a button on the left side of the screen and audio comes from the left speaksers, ...) To make use of these features clients need to use the libcanberra event sound library.

So as it seems right now the next gnome release will support libcanberra.

As I understand it, nothing else is needed.

If I am wrong then please enlighten me.

If you think it is to early for Glitch Free Audio then I will patiently wait ;-)

btw. the wiki has been updated and Fedora10 is investigation in pulseaudio 0.9.11. Release will be in October like ubuntu's.
