Sounds
Play a short sound to the whole room.
Operators only. This section is for IRC operators.
irc
/sound ding /sound chime /sound off /sound on
/sound <name> plays a short sound for everybody in the room who is using the Web Chat, and shows a line like "Anna played ding". The sounds are ding, chime, bell, buzz, drum, applause, whoosh and laugh. They are made by your browser, so nothing is downloaded. /sound off mutes them for you (this browser only) and /sound on brings them back. Other IRC programs ignore the sound request.
