Hi!
I've configured event sounds on XFCE (you can see the steps at the end
of this message).
Some sounds are played (clic button, question, etc.) but some ones are
not played (empty trash can and some others).
My questions are:
- ¿What's happening?
- ¿Are all events in XFCE implemented or there are some missing ones?
- ¿Are all GTK applications event support or are Desktop dependants?
Background:
I've made a custom sound theme, but I've tested using ubuntu-sounds and
freedesktop one and some sounds still not playing.
Here you can download the sound theme (extract and copy to
/usr/share/sounds/ ):

and a little script for testing it:

Note:
/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play -i trash-empty wokrs fine, but empty the
trash does not play any sound.
HOW TO ACTIVATE EVENT SOUNDS ON XFCE:
1º)
apt-get install dconf-tools sound-theme-freedesktop ubuntu-sounds xfconf
pavucontrol xfce4-mixer
apt-get install sox gnome-session-canberra at-spi at-spi2-core xdg-utils
Login Sound:
Go to settings-settings manager-session & startup-application autostart-add.
For the login sound on the COMMAND Line add:
/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="login"
or (play a file)
/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play -f
"/usr/share/sounds/pasodoble/stereo/desktop-login.ogg"
2º)
Create and edit the following files if they does not exist:
FILE: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/52libcanberra-gtk-module_add-to-gtk-modules
CONTENT:
if [ -z "$GTK_MODULES" ] ; then
GTK_MODULES="canberra-gtk-module"
else
GTK_MODULES="$GTK_MODULES:canberra-gtk-module"
fi
export GTK_MODULES
FILE: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/52libcanberra-gtk3-module_add-to-gtk-modules
CONTENT:
if [ -z "$GTK_MODULES" ] ; then
GTK_MODULES="canberra-gtk-module"
else
GTK_MODULES="$GTK_MODULES:canberra-gtk-module"
fi
export GTK_MODULES
3º)
Activate event sounds vía xfce-conf y gconf-editor
XFCE-conf
RUN: xfce4-settings-editor
GO: xsettings > Net > SoundThemeName
CHECK: EnableEventSounds y EnableInputfeedbackSounds
TYPE the theme name (default, pasodoble, ubuntu, etc.)
GCONF-EDITOR
RUN: gconf-editor
GO: desktop > gnome > sound
CHECK: enable_sounds, enable_feedback_sounds
TYPE the theme name (default, pasodoble, ubuntu, etc.)
4º)
Use pavucontrol to check the sound event volume.
5º)
Restart and test:
/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play -i trash-empty
