Squeeze here, and sounds can be enabled (see linked snapshot):

http://picpaste.com/sounds-rHbtyPAw.png

Hint: try to force-load using gconf editor:

/desktop/gnome/sound/[x] event_sounds

Anyway, I hear no system sounds even I've enabled that setting (and relogin).

Moreover, I can only get sound when running this command as root user:

r...@debian:~# canberra-gtk-play -f  /usr/share/sounds/ekiga/ring.wav

And it plays the "ring", but running the same as plain user, I get:

t...@debian:~$ canberra-gtk-play -f  /usr/share/sounds/ekiga/ring.wav
Failed to play sound: File or data not found

:-?
