Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Question

My pygtk program writes this warning to stderr:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

libcanberra seems to be a library for sound.

My program does not use any sound. Is there a way to disable this error message?

Installing libcanberra is not a solution.

I'm guessing something in your operating system adds "canberra-gtk-module" to $GTK_MODULES and GTK is doing as it's told: tries to load the specified module. — Jussi Kukkonen

I solved it by running

 sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk*

you can try it.
