On both Thunderbird and SeaMonkey I get the Gtk-Message, but not on Firefox.
As far as I can tell:
Firefox works for both .play and .playEventSound
Thunderbird and SeaMonkey silently fail for .playEventSound and give for .play 
the following message in the error console:
Timestamp: 15/01/12 21:08:23
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 
0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsISound.play]"  nsresult: "0x80040111 
(NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)"  location: "JS frame :: 
javascript:%20Components.classes["@mozilla.org/sound;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISound).play(Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIOService2).newURI("file:///usr/share/sounds/pop.wav",null,null))
 :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1"  data: no]

So it seems that comm-central based projects are maybe not initialising
something that Firefox is...

I've built SeaMonkey, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey from the same source
tree.
