I think that there is a much easier solution here that is staring everyone in the face. I will give you the initial idea and I am sure many of you can run with it:
Setup a user called 'Sound user'. Give them a specific email address that you have control over. Then setup an alert, say called 'Sound Alert' for that user. In the alerts "where" statement (how you decide which events will be alerted on) that you define, just have it alert on Severity >= Critical (or define it however you want). This will send an email to your 'Sound user' when a critical event comes in. Now, you can setup endless number of clients to receive the email. You can then have an endless number of alerts or plugins (think thunderbird or apple mail) on emails that come in. Thunderbird has the functionality to play sounds built in, in addition to 3rd party plugins. Apple mail has complex rules that you can define and assign a number of actions including sounds. I do not touch outlook, so you are on your own there. It is not uncommon for popular email clients to be able to have a sound be played when an incoming email arrives.
