I don't have a gnome-sound-properties executable.  Also,

 $ apt-file find gnome-sound-properties
gnome-colors-common: /usr/share/icons/gnome-colors-common/16x16/apps/gnome-sound-properties.png
gnome-colors-common: /usr/share/icons/gnome-colors-common/22x22/apps/gnome-sound-properties.png
gnome-colors-common: /usr/share/icons/gnome-colors-common/24x24/apps/gnome-sound-properties.png
gnome-colors-common: /usr/share/icons/gnome-colors-common/32x32/apps/gnome-sound-properties.png
gnome-colors-common: /usr/share/icons/gnome-colors-common/scalable/apps/gnome-sound-properties.svg
xiphos-data: /usr/share/xiphos/gnome-sound-properties.png

No executables in there
