Yes I have the same problem.
My temporary workaround (no cut-off at login): systemstettings->Notifications->Player Settings->Use an External Player->/usr/bin/play

*/usr/bin/play part of sox package

for the moment, until we discover the problem, I think is not a drama use this lightweight external command line audio player[hr]

...SVN commit 887719 by mkretz:

hack sound notifications to delay calls to close by 1 minute. This "fixes" the startup sound which got cut off by the hardcoded timeout of 6 seconds - now it's hardcoded to 1:06....

I'll try it.


It didn't work. :(

Fixed in trunk, as far as I can see (see a few messages above). My 4.2 beta 2 install plays the login sound just fine.

Agreed. Works as it should here too (using the xine backend).

Works for me too now (Mandriva 2009.1 32 bit, PulseAudio turned off) both with xine and gstreamer backends, so I'm marking the thread as solved.
