@cyrildz but would a better solution not simply to be to preview the
audio file on clicking a play button displayed on the icon? That way it
is still easy to access but less likely to be triggered accidentally.

Title:
  Mousing over an audio file on the desktop should not preview it.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  I was working on one desktop when I suddenly heard music playing.
  Thinking it was a Flash video somewhere in Firefox, I switched
  desktops using the keyboard and it stopped playing.  I switched back
  and it started playing again.  After a minute of this back and forth I
  noticed that my mouse was hovering over an mp3 file on the desktop.

  While the audio preview is a useful feature in nautilus windows, I'm
  not sure it makes sense for the desktop.
