[edit] Issues

• Allows the user to select which rooms will "beep" (which can be a PC Speaker beep or a sound sample) when there is activity, but it does not save this information when the client leaves the room (either by /part or by shutting down).
• Doesn't seem to be any way to set it to automatically open different networks in different windows

[edit] Wish List

• Different sounds for different actions, probably based on regex filters
