some sounds no longer work after pacman -Su

I am using the latest arch kernel (yesterday I think) and run gdm & openbox with a gnome panel.

A couple examples of the new "features" I'm seeing:

1) gnome control center can no longer be used to set background images. ("eval `cat $HOME/.fehbg` &" in openbox/autostart works though)

2) I use a terminal window and pine for email.  Used to be that any time a new message came in, the system would play a beep.  This has mysteriously stopped working and there does not appear to be a setting in the openbox or gnome setup to turn it back on.

Has anyone else noticed these changes recently?  Know how to put them back the way they were before without downgrading the system?

thanks.
