Using Lubuntu 12.04 (and as i recall, same experince with Ubuntu Studio 10.04) -- i have esound AND pulseaudio. Neither the default new mail sound nor a custom .wav file would work either in the preferences "test" dialog nor in actual use until i removed pulseaudio. I didn't experience any problem having it in a subfolder of "home."
