You can modify the menu launcher for the program in 
/usr/share/applications, and simply add the --nosound (or equiv) option 
in the Exec= line. That works for me - see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tuxpaint/+bug/269082 for 
details on the issue and to post comments. As Caroline says in the last 
comment, we need to test this on Jaunty to see if it still appears since 
PulseAudio changed in Jaunty.


Cheers,
