Bug#605486: pulseaudio: Please prefer PulseAudio version of libcanberra when PA is installed

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.21-3
Severity: normal

I'm not sure whether this should be reported to PulseAudio or
libcanberra, so feel free to reassign this if you want.

On a fresh Squeeze beta1 install, the PulseAudio backend of libcanberra
is not installed by default, although libcanberra and PulseAduio are.

Since the ALSA plugin is not enable by default either, this makes
libcanberra not to work as expected (e.g., no sounds).
With the ALSA plugin it play sounds but seems to lead to strange
problems, at least with Empathy (Rhythmbox and Totem's sounds
stop/get muted during Empathy's ones).

Installing libcanberra-pulse and restarting the GNOME session fixes
these problems.
