That’s not the right fix, I think.  For instance, if Evince is installed
in a profile, but libcanberra itself is not in the profile, then the
sound theme is not pulled and ends up not being used.

Would it be possible, instead, to patch libcanberra to refer to the
sound-theme directory as its fallback?

Thanks,
