Play sound on build failure

[ghost]

I'm after a way to draw attention to the build monitor on a failed build and playing a sound would seem to do that. Could this plugin be extended to play a sound on failures - really a duplication of the functionality of the Jenkins Sounds plugin but I cannot figure out how to get that working on the PC the build monitor is running on.

We have the display up on a computer in the dev area, our Jenkins master is a VM in the server room so we can't use the Sounds plugin either. This would be a nice feature to have at some point.

If its added I'd like to see configurable sounds for many events. (Job started, succeeded, failed, cancelled, etc.)

In the meantime I've found this workaround http://www.wrightfully.com/using-cctray-to-monitor-jenkins-builds/

Hi @andrewsumner and thanks for your feedback! I like the idea of playing a sound on a build failure and will probably look into implementing this functionality at some point :)

In addtion to cctray, I think there are also some IDE (IntelliJ, Eclipse, etc) plugins that work in a similar fashion. You might want to give those a go as well.

Hi!
I have implemented the same monitor but for TeamCity CI. It shows necessary builds status and play alarm sound if any build failed. It's very useful to notify about failed build by sound. We have big TV in our room, and when build failed, all develops getting know about it :)

There's a plugin https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+Sounds+plugin that supports playing sounds on webpages, might be easier to integrate that.
