Changes:
  [ Chris Coulson ]
  * debian/patches/08_gs_dialog_request_to_exit.patch:
    - Updated to not register a handler for SIGTERM in the dialog. This
      prevents the dialog from hanging on timeouts or authentication
      failures (LP: #454959)

Changes:
  * PulseAudio: higher priority than ALSA, LP: #402018
