Thanks for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. Sorry we
don't always have the resources to get to every bug report. Ubuntu 11.04
is no longer supported so I'm going to close the bug.

Title:
  Pidgin sounds stop working requiring reconfiguration

Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  For a while, the default sound configuration worked flawlessly.  Then
  Pidgin went mysteriously silent.  It became necessary to play with the
  settings over at Tools -> Preferences -> Sounds.

  I changed the Method from "Automatic" to "ALSA".  That worked for a
  while, and then it stopped too.

  I discovered that this really needs to be set to "Command" with "aplay %s" as per the following:
  * http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#SoundLinuxandUnix-likeplatforms
  * https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+question/53712

  The configuration should work out-of-the-box.  It shouldn't be
  necessary to play around with these settings.
