Ok... after digging into this for a while it seems the issue is in
ubuntu-push-client. It can't find the sound because on Aquaris phones we
use a customized sound file that's not located in a XDG_DATA_DIR. From
the log:


2015/09/16 16:43:40.739431 sounds.go:76: DEBUG [UqURQ1yBEeWC7foWPmWXaQ==] unable to find sound /custom/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/notifications/Aquaris.mp3


FWIW, we should not only add support for this path (/custom/) but instead don't restrict sound files to XDG_DATA_DIRs at all. For example Ubuntu Touch Tweak Tool supports changing the default ringtones just by setting our used gsettings key. Eventually we will probably allow the user to select his own sound files for ring tones with the default settings app just like that. In which case we'd run into this bug again.

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