I have not built libcanberra in recent times.  I see now that it is

Trying to build pavucontrol, configure failed with:

checking for GUILIBS... no
configure: error: Package requirements ( gtkmm-3.0 >= 3.0 sigc++-2.0 
libcanberra-gtk3 >= 0.16 ) were not met:

The required deps for pavucontrol are gtkmm3, libsigc++, and
pulseaudio.  I have all of those, and I don't think libcanberra is
pulled in for any of them, so I think it ought to be added as a
required dep for pavucontrol ?

Nice of them to say something about it (not).

I already had libcanberra installed so there was no problem for me, but there is no INSTALL file that mentions requirements and configure --help does not mention it. The only way to know that is to not have it when attempting to build.

I don't know what you are using pavucontrol for, but it was added for xfce (xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin) and libcanberra is recommended for xfce4-settings.

I'll add it.
