Porting apps to libcanberra is the right thing to do. Convert every
single one you find. But, gnome_sound_play is in the platform until
GNOME-3.0 comes along and API can be broken. In that case, why not
have gnome_sound_play actually do something useful since it's dead
simple to do it?
It's pretty useful to have gnome_sound_play do what it's doing now.
It's making people ask how to make sound work again, and they are
learning about the right way to do it with libcanberra.
Being realistic, people will never change unless they have to. Whether
that happens now, or in GNOME 3.0 is pretty much irrelevant. It has to
happen sometime, might as well be now.
