71356 - Biff is not making the beep sound when the mail arrives

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P1)

Description

[Sheela Ravindran]

buildid:2001-03-08-09 on win98

Preference: play sound when a message arrives checked
compose and send a mail
wait for the biff to go off
Results: biff does go and fetch the mail but does not play the sound.  The sound 
does not go off even when doing get message

This could be a regression bug because I have checked on buildid 2001-03-05-09 
still has the system beep sound when the message arrives

looks like the sound URL is null when we get it in the biff manager....
i'm getting an assertion there in a debug tip build.

Can this be related to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71123?

marking nsbeta1+, we need to fix this.  It should be playing the system beep now.

Before we try to play sound file at givel url, we were only checking whether or
not we got soundURL object successfully and that is not sufficient. What we
really want to check to see if the soundURL spec has any length (either default
or user specified).

New patch coming up....

I didn't know you could do .get() on a nsXPIDLCString.

that's much cleaner than casting (which is what I've done in the past, but not
anymore!)
