Here's from the package description:

    Description: simple abstract interface for playing event sounds
     libcanberra defines a simple abstract interface for playing
     event sounds. 
 
     libcanberra relies on the XDG sound naming specification for
     identifying event sounds. On Unix/Linux the right sound
     to play is found via the mechanisms defined in the XDG sound
     theming specification.

(thanks to your query I see it's installed on my system and unneeded,
purging it :)
