Volume statusbar plugin prevent system into home screen if soundcard is absent

[Jing Wang]

Description:
----------------
It happens that I setup a CB without soundcard, after install PDK, it can't get into Home Screen. per my observation, X window has been launched, but seems it is just a step away from home screen. After pending with a white X window on Screen for several seconds, the X is restarted. Back and forth, the same process repeats.
When I install a soundcard in CB, everything is Ok.
When I remove /usr/lib/hildon-status-bar/libvolume.*, even without soundcard, we can still into homescreen.

Reproduced steps:
----------------
1. Start PDK on a CB without soundcard

Current result:
----------------
Can't go into home screen.

Respected result:
----------------
Should be allowed to into home screen even soundcard is unavailable

Change the importance to High.
Need to check the bug if this is same as the other bug #156932

To test, I changed the applet to try to open /dev/moxer instead of /dev/mixer so that it wouldn't be found. That reproduced the failure.

To fix it, I switched the g_error message to a g_warning in the volume applet and it no longer causes the abort. I have no idea why calling g_error makes hildon-desktop abort but there it is. It's fixed in 0.23.

Checked it in 0.24, the issue is fixed.
