Hello,

[ Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list ]

I enabled the=20

Tools --> Settings -->=20
	Mail Preferences
		--> New Mail Notification
			--> Play sound file when new mail arrives=20

I set the filename to a wave file I have, using the full path. I am not
hearing any sound. Sound card works, Volume is pumped.

I've done some quick grep'ing on the source and I guess the function
being used to play the sound file is:

mail/mail-session.c

static void
main_play_sound (CamelFilterDriver *driver, const char *filename, gpointer =
user_data)
{
        if (filename && *filename)
                gnome_sound_play (filename);
        else
                gdk_beep ();

        g_free (filename);
        camel_object_unref (session);
}

Q1. I'm using debian so not sure if there was library left out of=20
the package's depenencies. I'll look but anyone know off what library
gnome_sound_play comes from? If a library was left out I'll report it as
a bug.=20

Q2. From some initial googl'ing I'm reading esd must be running in order
for gnome_sound_play to work; is this right (?)=20

I'll keep looking for more info. Please let me know if you know exactly
what needs to be available to get this sound play to work on mail
arrival.
