You might want to look at a better mail program.
It's better because the whole audio system doesn't fail in the case of minor failure. It'd be like calling off a football game (or whatever you're into) because one of the substitutes ruptured an eyelash.
It shouldn't make any difference to startup - we should still be checking errors and failing the init if we're failing to add links, this isn't something that's likely to randomly break on a particular boot, it's more something that indicates nobody bothered testing.
It's certainly totally inappropriate for an "urgent" bugfix.
During start-up the ux500 has a couple of very unimportant widgets fail. It's the wrong behavior to force failure on the everything audio just because of that.
Fixes for those errors, however...
