I followed the methods you suggested, but the "gnome sound preferences" doesn't have a help menu, so it doesn't have a "report a problem" option, nor is it a package on its own. I hope this helps a bit more. Thanks very much!

I hope this helps a bit more. Thanks very much! I doubt this is a pulseaudio problem. I can play sounds and music through alsa via pulseaudio, and also through pulseaudio directly, and this bug affects me in jaunty. I'm assuming this has something to do with the way gnome is trying to play the alert and system sounds, none of which play when the event occurs. They do all play, however, when the preview icon is clicked in the sound control panel. The login sound plays, but the logout and system beep sounds are beeps out the pc speaker. Disabling the 'play alert sound' option stops the beep out of the pc speaker as well. If this isn't a bug in gnome-desktop, I apologise, but I think it's somewhere in gnome, since I don't seem to be having any other pulseaudio problems, through alsa or not.

2009-03-08 23:28:08 michael perigard None: statusexplanation gnome-desktop is providing the gnome-about dialog and a lib to parse desktop files that has nothing to do with sound as best I can tell, this is the responsible package. from the description of the package: This module enables PulseAudio to publish itself as the default sound server to the X11 root window automatically upon startup. The is also a module to playback a sound file in place of the X11 bell beep. I hope I should assign it to this package and not pulseaudio. If this package isn't the problem, maybe we can track it down from here.
