Yes rhythmbox.

Thanks Eamonn, that put me on the right track.  It is
System/Preferences/Sound 

I had unchecked "Enable sound server at startup" thinking that would
kill the desktop sounds that were annoying me.  "Sounds for events" should
suffice.  I've been using pwm as a window manager for quite a while.
Gnome is a new animal for me :)
