This bug was fixed in the package pulseaudio - 1:12.2-2ubuntu3.1
---------------
pulseaudio (1:12.2-2ubuntu3.1) disco; urgency=medium
* debian/patches/0006-load-module-x11-bell.patch:
- remove that old distro patch, it's undocumented, not needed since
GNOME handles the login sound by itself and create issues in some
cases (duplicate sound, not respecting the UI choice)
(lp: #1827842)
[ Hui Wang ]
* d/p/0800-stream-restore-Don-t-restore-if-the-active_port-is-P.patch:
- Don't restore the streams to sinks/sources with only unavailable ports
(LP: #1834138)

Title:
pulseaudio should not load module-x11-bell in gnome-shell
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in pulseaudio source package in Disco:
Fix Released
Bug description:
* Impact
The package force load a bell sound which can conflicts with the user
configuration
* Test case
- Enable a login sound in session
- Login into a GNOME/Ubuntu session
-> the configured sound should be played
* Regression potential
Try other desktop environments to make sure their login sound behaviour isn't
changed, it shouldn't since the customization dropped was specific to the
Ubuntu sound theme
-------------------
The package `pulseaudio` installs a startup script in
`/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop`,
which itself runs `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`,
which loads a number of x11 related modules in `pulseaudio`.
One of these modules is `module-x11-bell`,
which makes `pulseaudio` play a sound each time a system bell is emitted
(usually by terminal applications, such as bash or vim).
This is redundant with gnome-shell, which is also able to handle the system
bell
(through the gsetting key `org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds`).
The gnome system bell is directly configurable by the user (Settings > Sound),
so it should be preferred over pulseaudio's own system bell.
I suggest to patch the `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`,
to avoid loading `start-pulseaudio-x11` if it detects it is running in Gnome
Shell
(e.g. if GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE is set).
