Defintiely agree not to add a new large dependency. Please check the media-hub then for suitability.
I did not see any dependency into gstreamer so was concerned, also added libvorbis decoder.

Title:
  Use the existing audio stack to play event sounds

Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This merge introduced several new packages in order to produce sounds on calendar events
  https://code.launchpad.net/~charlesk/indicator-datetime/alarms/+merge/204420

  We should rather use existing APIs in QtMultimedia or go directly to the media service in the platform api. 
  - reduce number of packages supported
  - allow coordination for audio playback from multiple sources
  - support multiple encoding formats
