While libcanberra is the defacto implementation of the sound theme spec, it is just an implementation and if an alternative library is written (e.g. for use in Qt - and yes I know it would make more sense to use libcanberra for Qt, but this is just "in theory" ;)) that also implements the spec, then pavucontrol would not compile there. That said, libcanberra itself is very easy to compile and if pavucontrol is just using it as an implementation of the spec in order to generate an appropriate UI, then IMO I think that's fine and you should just compile libcanberra and ship it. I guess the bigger question of "do you want the sound theme part of the pavucontrol UI compiled when the desktop does not support it" is really what needs answered.
