Comment 80 for bug 214370

This does seem to be more gnome-based, as kde and such have sounds just fine.

I agree with Comment #77. This is a bug report because it seems like something is wrong with the system when it can't play system sounds, and every other OS (you know, those other 2...) does. Yes. Micro$oft's and Appl€ 's OS's play shutdown sounds. And startup sounds. And why shouldn't the worlds most configurable operating system (that's linux, btw) allow us to configure audible notifications?
