Comment 60 for bug 129029

libgnome (2.20.0-1ubuntu4) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Completely rewrite debian/patches/11_aplay_fallback.patch to make it
    work for sound events from gnome-session (like login/logout sounds), too.
    gnome_sound_sample_load() now keeps a map of sound name -> sound file, so
    that gnome_triggers_play_sound() has a chance to find the file name to
    call aplay on.

    This still does not repair general sound events for all applications
    (since gnome-session preloads the sound events into esd usually, which we
    cannot do without esd), but for Gutsy purposes this is an unintrusive
    workaround. In Hardy we should either switch to pulse by default, or get
    upstream to drop this esound abdomination altogether. (LP: #129029)
