#2Finally, a way to know what stupid portfolios have automatic music so I can close them without even looking and thus jot being tempted to hire people that do that.

#3I am excited about this feature. Its really useful when you have tabs that autoplay some sound and you are hunting around to close that tab. Also, if you use grooveshark or some other music service and its in the browser.

#4This is more exciting than half of the features in HTML5.

No kidding! This is like the incognito tab. No idea how web browsers went so long without it.

Only if it works reliably though. I wonder whether they can make it work with plugins.
Maybe you'd have to get a hook with some platform specific OS API that tells you when sound is playing (does this even exist though)? You could then match this to user interactions within the browser - did the user click inside my browser window when the event started? Then it's probably happening within that tab and I'm gonna show him that animation. False positives wouldn't be very harmful here, so you could let that slip.

#8Even better would be a play/pause button... or is that not feasible? I'm not so familiar with browser development.

#9Thank you google! I was just thinking about this problem the other day and was even contemplating trying to build something myself but then realized I probably just shouldn't have so many tabs open.

Perhaps a mute/unmute would be more feasible.
