I logged in to another user running KDE, and the wav file plays fine in Tbird on that account. I went back into the problem account and deleted the .thunderbird directory and let Tbird create a new one. Selected the wav file in the new mail sound preferences and tried a preview. No go. So it looks like it is a problem specific to the one user in KDE only. I'm not sure what configuration files to look at in that account, and no clue what to look for even if I knew which files to look at. I hope someone has a suggestion of what to look at next.
