        Hi,
for sound notification Evolution's Mail Notification plugin uses
gnome_sound_init ("localhost"); and gdk_beep (); for beeping or
gnome_sound_play (file); for files. When you get setup gnome_sound to
use your PulseAudio, then that should work as you want to.

I'm not aware of such setup or anything related, these are just
functions used in the code of the plugin.
        Bye,
        Milan
