Public bug reported:

I hope I'm filing this against the correct package.

In Oneiric, very few system sounds play. I hear button-clicking sounds
if I have those on, and there is a small "beep" when Thunderbird gets a
new mail, and IM sounds from Empathy work. But more general, system-wide
sounds aren't playing at all.

For instance, if I open gedit, type in some words, then try to close it,
the warning dialog that pops up asking me to save isn't accompanied by
the drum sound I expect.

In dconf-editor, under org.gnome.desktop.sound, I do have the "theme-
name" value set to "ubuntu", and I can play these sounds with canberra
commands such as:

/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="dialog-warning"

But in practice there are few (if any) of these system sounds.
