Bug#624714: gnome-control-center: muting alert sound is ineffective

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.0.0.1-1
Severity: normal

I have gone into the sound control panel and muted the alert sound
volume (on the Sound Effects tab).  The alert sound is played
nevertheless and at the same volume.  For example, when I am at a shell
prompt in the terminal and press backspace, the alert sound still plays.
I presume this is the correct tool to manipulate the setting since
changing the choice of sound also causes the terminal bell sound to
change.

I would appreciate it if the sound effects respected the mute setting.
