Details

I have a laptop with a yamaha card with two users setup: eugenia and jbq. The user setup is identical (they both belong to the users, audio and optical groups). Both users can use audio, OSS or ALSA (e.g. with Rhythmbox, XMMS, aplay etc). They both have identical gnome volume configuration, alsa volume configuration and gstreamer configuration (OSS for both sink/source). Both users have ESD launching on startup, and are checked for "gnome system sounds".

However, the eugenia user can have gnome-system-sounds (e.g. sounds when logging in, logout, open a new window etc), while the jbq user does not have any sounds for these gnome events. All apps play sound fine for jbq, but his gnome-system sounds don't make a peep (not even when trying them through the gnome-sound-properties dialog). Why is that?
This task depends upon

Could it be that you have a non-hardware mixing soundcard that is locked by a running esound daemon?
I have no other explanation for this, as I can't reproduce it with my sblive1024.

the onboard yamaha soundcard supports hardware mixing. This is 1999 laptop, long before the crap AC97 came out.
