You should be able to play audio files from local file:/// URLs as well.
I've got the following code that currently plays the audio from a URL
but it introduces a slight delay and I'd rather pre-load it locally if
I can.
Pre-load the audio file when the script loads
var player = document.createElement('audio');
player.preload = 'auto';
player.src = 'https://website.com/alert.wav';
then only run player.play() when you want to play the sound. As long as
the audio file is cachable it should play without delay (tried this with
a sample file from http://freewavesamples.com/ and the audio played
immediately).
