Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

Totem's apport hook invokes aplay, paplay and gst-launch-0.10 to help diagnose sound problems. If any of these programs fail to run, the error output (which may be useful in debugging) is lost.

I can commit it to the source package branch if you use it for totem,
otherwise you can roll it into your next upload.
