Hello! 
It's not really a bug. I'd rather say it's a future-request. So...
When performing "installgui" from NetInst CD (Debian Etch amd64 4.0r0), package gnome-audio is not installed by default. I think it should be installed because a lot of multimedian stuff is installed by default and installing gnome-audio should be reasonable, without this package there is no system sounds in Gnome - this looks weird.

Other installation CDs/DVDs or architectures not tested.

Using Debian Etch Amd64

I've decided not to include gnome-audio in the desktop task, for the
following reasons:

* gnome does not enable system sounds by default; it's a preference
* esd has to be enabled for system sounds to work
* esd sucks
* if gnome-audio is not enabled and you try to enable system sounds,
  and play a sound, gnome display a reasonable error message about the
  sound not being installed, and suggests installing gnome-audio
