Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

gnome-sound-properties has been removed from Karmic, however this is a regression. There is no replacement providing the per-event configuration of the sound theme.

gnome-volume-control attempts to provide some ability to configure sound theme settings, but:
a) the configurability provided is poor in comparison to what we had in Jaunty, and
b) the "Volume Control" is an unintuitive place to look for configuring desktop sound effects settings.

Thanks, but that was a design decision and not a bug. gnome-sound-properties has been deprecated upstream for some time now (and even completely removed from the gnome-control-center source package). It only still existed in Ubuntu because we shipped a huge patch to rebuild it again.

If there are missing features in gnome-volume-control, then please report those upstream so that they can be worked on properly, rather than working around the issues by including obsolete technology.

Changed in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu):

point take, rereading my previous post i've realized it was to harsh and certainlly not contractive.

BUT.., after using linux exclusively for more then 8 years now, i really believe that the one thing really holding back linux is that unwillingness of distributions to take things more seriously, fact is that there are way too many bugs that exists for more then 5 years, 100 paper cuts is a step in the right direction, but certainlly not enough, distribution in general and ubuntu in paticular should stop delegating bugs fixes to only upstream guys and take some more responsiable approache.

good day, and sorry for my last comment.

you seem to understand what you call unwillingness is just that there is too much work to do for the number of people contributing and you can't blame contributor to not working the double of hours fixing your issues for free when they already do that on their free time there
