Comment 35 for bug 61530

Using a stopwatch, the startup sound was about 7 seconds. Does this sound correct?

Also, there is a difference between using the GNOME shutdown menu button and using the button the my computer. Shutdown via menu button is about 17 seconds total (and had the problem of truncating the old sound), while via button it is 14. This button seems to shutdown in a similar way to shutdown -h now, which does not even give the sound system a chance to play a file. Maybe this is something to take into consideration as it means that it should be possible to shorten the shutdown time even more.
