Not a total fix in the sense of using the Media API, but a step in the
right direction:

https://code.launchpad.net/~charlesk/indicator-datetime/lp-1337348-use-
gstreamer-api, written for bug #1337348, uses GStreamer directly and so
drops the libcanberra packaging requirement.

Title:
  Use the existing audio stack to play event sounds

Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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
