libcanberra does not play sounds directly, but adds them to a queue.
gtk_quit_add() was used to play the queued sounds right before the
application exited (think of sound events on button clicks, where the
button action exits the application, e.g. "close", "cancel", ...).

There is no replacement for this functionality at this point - the only
workaround (apart from deleting the module) is not building it.
