Hi pnchen--we don't include a number of HTML5 multimedia features in brackets-shell because of licensing issues. Also, from a UI point of view we generally prefer not to use audio by default as it can be disruptive. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hi njx, Could you please reference me to the licensing issue?

gruehle might remember - but as I recall it was that the audio/video codecs weren't covered by a license that was safe for Brackets. (As a matter of policy, we only include components that are covered by fairly permissive licenses like MIT, BSD, or Apache, and avoid components with GPL-ish licenses.)

Correct - the multimedia features in CEF use ffmpeg, which has a GPL license when using some components. See https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html
It may be possible to omit the GPL components and use a LGPL license, but even that can lead to issues.

html5 Audio object is not supported by brackets-shell. We should play some audio when an error occurs.
