I appear to be using gnome_sound_connection_get() in monster-masher
which is in Gnome CVS and part of the fifth toe. When I wrote sound
support for Monster Masher, it seemed to be the only way to play-back
cached sounds. I'm not sure, though, since the documentation was,

Not that I have a problem with porting my code, but it's not a
hypothetical problem.
