So unfortunately no idea currently why it's failing for you.

You might want to try canberra-gtk-play which apparently just plays a sound file
using libcanberra as a testcase. and then play around with strace and ltrace to
find what's happening or not.

I tried canberra-gtk-play and I obtained an error "Failed to play sound:
Sound disabled".

So I tried to install pulseaudio and now thunderbird 11.99-2.1 as well
as canberra-gtk-play play the notification sound (just a wav).

So it seems there is a problem in the ALSA fallback.

I think I should file a bug report but, against which component?

Best,
Andrea
