Description Matthias Clasen 2012-10-02 01:59:12 UTC 
neither stopwatch nor alarms are 'events' in that sense, and they should make noise even if event sounds are turned off.
Comment 1 Paolo Borelli 2012-10-02 09:23:38 UTC 
Is it possible to play sounds through canberra avoiding the global enable/disable settings?
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2012-10-03 02:43:53 UTC 
Seems so. Something like

canberra-gtk-play -i bell --property media.role=alarm --property canberra.volume=0


works for me, regardless of wether event sounds are turned off or not.
The important bit here is to set media.role to something other than 'event'.
Comment 3 Paolo Borelli 2012-10-06 18:09:04 UTC 
Thanks for the suggestion.
