Gnome System Event sounds not working in FC2 Test3

I have a fresh install of FC2 Test 3.  The System Event sounds in Gnome 
do not work.  If I go to Start Here > Preferences > Sound, the Enable 
sound server startup and Sounds for events check boxes are checked.  If 
I go to the Sound Events tab and select System Events > Log In, 
startup3.wav is listed as the Sound file.  Clicking on Play does 
nothing.  All the volume controls in alsa-mixer are up and nothing is muted.

However, If I go to the Start Menu > System Settings, Sound Card 
Detection, my CM8738 C-Media Elcctronics Inc. audio device is detected 
and shown to use module snd-cmipci.  If I click on Play test sound, the 
test sound plays fine.  If I click on a .ogg file, Rythmbox starts up 
and plays the file just fine.  Xmms also works fine.

I found messages in the list archives for this problem occuring in 
Test2, but no references to a bug that I can add my comments to.  
Searching the bugzilla database did not bring up an appropriate bug.  
Does anyone know a bug number for this problem?  If not, I'll enter a 
new bug.

Thanks.
