I don't know what you're trying to post here, but setting flags probably isn't the thing to do initially.

Incoming message alert. A lengthier sample, so it can clearly listened.

I can play wav sound with Thunderbird 3.1.2 on Linux Ubuntu 10.04, so I think this bug could be closed.
However, I have some issue with system sound, but I think this is another bug...
