Repeat sound while notification is visible #479

What feature or enhancement do you propose?
An option for Visual plugins to play a sound until the notification is cleared.
Something like an option in the Application Notification Settings:
Play Sound: Sound X
[ ] Play until notification is closed

What problem does it solve/What benefit does it provide?
The use case here is to allow the user to know a notification has posted incase 
they miss the first one. For instance, it triggers when your out of the room, 
you come back in the room - but not to the computer. If it continued to play 
the alert sound the user would know right away they should check the computer.

My specific use case is basically a live chat application that uses Growl to 
post notifications and I'd like it to do this.

This dovetails nicely in with the other improvements we are making for Growl 
2.0, we will need to have some consideration of continuous sounds vs non 
continuous, or even multiple continuous sound configurations, but this is 
certainly doable.

For 2.0, this won't be happening, moving to milestone-later for now, in theory 
possible, but many other changes took higher priority

I really don't understand why this was left out? This is a feature that should 
been available with the release of this program. So many useless and worthless 
settings in the options menu compared to this.. I hope this gets released soon.

Useless to you is useful to others. There is actually a lot of complication to 
doing this specific thing compared to other things which actually had a higher 
priority.

We don't need me to type comments, we do need people who want a feature to star 
the ticket. That way when we search for enhancements with the highest amount of 
stars, the feature they want is higher in the list.

causing the sound to loop isn't terrible, the possibly tricky part is stopping 
the sound when the user clicks the notification
