Does anyone know how to get the Thunderbird new mail notification sound
working in 12.04? Neither the default system sound nor a specific .wav
file works for me. I've tried a couple of add-ons and I've tried
installing esound. Nothing seems to help.


Anyone have any better ideas?

same problem here, although the file /is/ played, but only for a few
milliseconds. Just hear a faint tick.
The same file e-mailed as an attachment can be played correctly though.

Interestingly enough, the sound works perfectly in Lubuntu, just not
under Xubuntu, even with pulseaudio installed on both.

If you install libaudiofile1, libesd0, and esound-common, .wav files
seem to play fine. Can't figure out how to get the default sound though.
