It certainly has.

I for one would be very happy to use GSound in IBus Cangjie (which is
written in Python) instead of relying on the not-so-great pycanberra.

(no support for the other introspected languages, based on ctypes,
inactive upstream,...)

Please, do make GSound an official part of GNOME, so we can start
depending on it. :)
