Replace default sound with a .wav #51

This is useful - thanks! I've added support to the Update Scanner extension.

I'd suggest converting the default sound to a .wav, to make it more likely to work "out of the box". I wasn't able to get .flac support working on MacOS.

Sadly it seems that the audio backends are a bit different with extensions. Firefox should support playing a FLAC on all platforms, but it seems extensions don't always get the proper backend. I haven't raised this as a platform issue yet, since I haven't been able to reproduce the issue myself, so I can't dig into what exactly is going on. So I'm not sure I can trust WAV files either. See also the issue with Windows 8.1.

Thanks for adding support in Update Scanner! I think popularity of this specific extension will go down a lot with Firefox using native notifications on Windows 10, which make a sound by default.
