Description
Hi,
A sound option to alert of an incoming IM message (like a mild Ding) would be great.
I think it would be great if we had the option to switch the sounds on/off and maybe switch between some different sounds in administration panel and/or upload own sounds.
Regards,
Stefan

I tried to just make the thing beep, thinking that this would be the quickest/easiest (though maybe no best) solution, but discovered that there is no native javascript function to "beep", so I'm going to have to figure out how to deal... I'm hoping that it will be easy have have javscript play a sound file,m but the last time i did that (granted, I was very new to browser apps), it was a real pain to make it work on all OS's and browsers...
Any help here would be greatly appreciated :-)

This would be an excellent feature and I've already had a couple of my users asking about being able to get notifications of some kind when a new IM arrives. If I get a chance I may look into some way to implement this, but I don't know if that's going to happen or not.

Done !! Please see project page and/or README for details. You need to download a small file and put it in the IM module directory.
Audio Alerts - There are 4 events to which a sound can be assigned. User can override admin's settings by going to My Account | Edit. Admin can add more sounds by putting mp3 files in the modules "sounds" directory. User can turn sound on or off by clicking an icon in the Console.

It would be nice if the audio icon would dissappear when there are no sounds selected in by the Admin. I do not want sounds, but the icon suggests there are.
Thank you for this top module!
