I'm having the same problems on Debian 2.1 with Gnome installed from
tarballs. The problem seems only to affect the Gnome event sounds. The
panel slide makes noise just fine, and I have XMMS playing through esd as
I type. I reported this (along with many other bugs) when I first
installed October Gnome, and got no response. Apparently, when they said
they're not working on 1.0 anymore, they meant it, regardless of whatever
bugs it may have.
