Don't assume that sounds are available #79

If a TTS extension that doesn't provide the necessary events is used, ChromeVox 
cannot emit sounds. In this case, it doesn't provide valuable feedback about 
some events.

For instance, ChromeVox does not aurally indicate that a block of text is a 
link. Rather, it simply reads the text.

This is inconsistent with a number of other elements--buttons, input fields, 
etc. Perhaps the link sound should be abandoned in favor of a speech utterance 
that works everywhere?

Nolan, thanks for the feedback!

Which TTS extension are you using?  I'll take a look at it and how is interacts 
with ChromeVox.
