Ubuntu Vivid SRU Justification

[Impact]

 * This bug makes 'morse' crash when it tries to sound a "dash" at its
   default speed, rendering the program useless.

 * Vivid's morse (2.4-2ubuntu1) exhibits this bug.

 * This bug is fixed by Debian's morse (2.4-3), which is comprised _only_
   of this bug fix plus the pending ubuntu1 patch currenlty carried in Vivid.
   I.e. the morse (2.4-3) package is the appropriate SRU fix package for
   Vivid.

 * This bug also affected Wily and was fixed by the morse (2.4-3) package.

[Test Case]

 * To reproduce and verify with Vivid's morse (2.4-2ubuntu1).

   1. Run 'morse a' expecting to hear "dot dash" but get "dot <crash>" instead.
   2. Install morse (2.4-3) then run 'morse a' and hear "dot dash".

[Regression Potential]

 * The fix affects only the PulseAudio output back-end; Possible regressions
   would (like the bug) probably affect only the PulseAudio back-end and would
   likely manifest the same way: pa_simple_write failures.
