I made a PR on github to address the exception handling which I think is
the best course here. Adding a dependency on alsa-utils will result in
adding further unwanted desktop packages on systems where they don't
really belong (anything with Ubuntu Server installed).
Just removing the traceback to clean the output and providing a helpful
error message is sufficient, IMO.
