GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 171044
Audio files for sound events should be user selectable
Last modified: 2005-05-14 15:23:46 UTC
I would like to change the audio file for the various events. I think it would fit well into the "Sound Events" tab of the "Sound Preferences" from the GNOME menu.
Created attachment 45338 [details] [review] Makes sound for events selectable This patch makes Gossip use the gnome sound event mechanism. It installs sound files in <datadir>/sounds/gossip instead of <datadir>/gossip. It also enable sounds for contacts going online and offline.
Created attachment 45339 [details] Sound event list This attachment is needed for the above patch and should be put in /etc/sound/events by install script.
... and of course should be named gossip.soundlist ...
Marking with PATCH keyword, will take a look at this as soon as possible.
Created attachment 46310 [details] [review] Combines two previous patches and adds some. * Added INTL support. * Only included the trigger header (not all of libgnome's headers). I have got the system regcognising Gossip in the sound preferences, but I am not getting any sounds from the gnome_trigger_do() that is called? Maybe I have something set up wrong this end or there is a step missing in the patch? I get the gtk-event sounds OK. This needs resolving before committing.
Created attachment 46311 [details] File was not included in last patch. * Prepended "_" to "description" to make sure it is translated.

Martyn: I had the same problem with everything working but still no sound. I could not find anything my patch missed doing according to the documentation. But when I restarted gnome it started working as it should and I've not had any problem since.
I will test restarting GDM and see how I go.
From my investigation into this, when you change the preferences or install the sound file it takes a restart of gdm for reflections to show up in Gossip (using Gnome 2.8 on FC3). This might be fixed in Gnome 2.10? Marking as fixed, at least now the sounds are configurable!
