This affects mostly the push notifications based alerts, SMS et.al. work
fine.

With export PULSE_PROP='media.role=alert'

This has no audible output: paplay /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/notifications/Slick.ogg
This does:  paplay /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones/Soul.ogg

$ system-image-cli -i
current build number: 14
device name: mako
channel: ubuntu-touch/stable
alias: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09
last update: 2015-01-16 13:12:29
version version: 14
version ubuntu: 20150116
version device: 20141119
version custom: mako-1.1

The hunch is some buffering going on on the android side for short sound
bytes.
