Tom : any solution yet to enable the preview of audio file is welcome.
Just because people misused it or activate it randomly and causing trouble for them is  not an argument to simply drop it .
when Unity came,  Ubuntu dev have still provide a way to have the old Shell as well as Gnome-shell , the same thing should be done here.  disable but provide a way to activate it again when a user want it. deleting this option is not the best way.

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.
