This extension shows a visual notification when inactive tab plays sound.
This is a simple extension that is monitoring tab activity. When the tab state was changed to audible (i.e. when tab started to play sound), tab's window will be notified with "drawAttention: true", operating system will mark the window state as URGENT and the button in a task bar will start blinking.
Usage:
- when there is a web chat client (e.g. whatsapp) and user wants to have visual notification in addition to sound notification,
- when some tab starts playing sound and user wants to find it quickly.
Note that this extension works only with Linux operating system.

- (2018-02-01) Charlene Fila: I have multiple tabs open with the web app "textfree.us" I installed this extension and it does not seem to work? Any ideas or can you point me in the right direction? This is exactly what I need. I will have a dozen tabs open and one will play a sound and I have to look through them all. EDIT: The extension is grayed out. I will troubleshoot and report back. Thank you
