Even better.

If we stick with the javascript modal popup, it makes sense to me to only allow one or the other. I think we could solve a few problems if we used a window.open() call to a small page instead of using the alert(), though - we could update an existing popup if it was already open, it wouldn't be modal so sounds would play, other things wouldn't lock in the browser. How's that sound?

Does anybody have some opinion about this?

This is an issue with the browser. We send the sound before the popup, but it seems that the browser is taking too long to start playing the sound to not get interrupted by the popup before. The only solution would be to delay the popup for about a second, so that the browser has the chance to play the sound, but that seems undesirable. How about making the notification a switch instead, so that users can only select either the sound or the popup?

If i select to have both a pop-up and a notification sound, the sound does not play until _after_ i have clicked "ok" in the notification box.
