Regards your comment: "Yes, these sounds suck :", I don't mind the sound
theme, though it would be great if there were a number of sound themes
to choose from.
My desire is that Debian would be easy to install and to use so that
people who are not computer experts, would be able to install Debian
with the full functionality of an Open Source Operating System, and also
allowing them to later manually install "non-free" components as per
their needs or requirements.
My point is that gnome has a sound theme and it is not installed by
default, which just seems strange. If someone does not like the sound
theme then it would be easy to "turn it off" but for the average user it
would nice if it was actually installed, even it if was not enabled by
default.
Would you be able to answer a related question for me. I find that even
when I install gnome-audio and enable the sound theme, it does not
produce sound. I believe that this is because gnome uses ALSA by default
while Debian installs OSS by default. Is there a gnome OSS library that
can be installed to allow gnome to produce sound in a default
installation of Debian (after gnome-audio is installed and System Sounds
are installed).
Thanks,
George.

gnome-desktop-environment only "Suggests: gnome-audio", and so when debian lenny is installed, the default

is not installed with gnome-desktop-environment and/or debian lenny installation ?
I would expect that System Sounds (ie gnome-audio) would be installed by
default.
Yes, these sounds suck. We may consider installing a sound theme by
default when there is one available that doesn’t make everyone want to
smash his computer with a baseball bat every time a sound is emitted.
