I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit.

I believe I can confirm this bug. I installed Earcandy 0.5 from this dev
PPA using Synaptic Package Manager. The program appeared under
APPLICATIONS>ACCESSORIES>Ear Candy. When I tried to run it, I received
the following error message:

Could not launch "Ear Candy"
failed to execute child process (no such file or directory)

I then edited the startup properties of the menu selection to make the path 
/usr/bin/earcandy
I assumed the command "earcandy" was one word like the folder 
"/usr/bin/share/earcandy/". I got another error message stating:

Could not launch "Ear Candy"
failed to execute child process '/usr/bin/earcandy' (no such file or directory)

I read this bug report, looked a little closer at how the program was
installed and noticed that in /usr/bin/, the actual command was
"ear_candy" not "earcandy". I then re-edited the path to:
/usr/bin/ear_candy

The program started up as it should.

I also tried installing the Ear Candy 0.5 .deb binary and it failed in a
similar manner, no doubt because of the naming problem.
