I have the following error when starting gnome-sound-properties from
console:
(gnome-sound-properties:3548): sound-properties-WARNING **: Bad setup,
install the freedesktop sound theme (by a rebuild of the proposed ubuntu
package at
http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=sound-theme-freedesktop)
solves the issue.

In that case, I get the following information when starting
gnome-sound-properties:
(gnome-sound-properties:12470): sound-properties-DEBUG: setting theme freedesktop


There is an ITP[1] for freedesktop-sound-theme and preliminary work has
already been done.

However, I do understand this is a fallback sound theme, which means
sounds should not be used.

Hence the problem might be in libcanberra - but as I am not sure to
understand this, I prefer relying on your judgment before re-affecting
the bug.

Cheers,
Julien
