That sounds like a great feature for making software accessible to blind people. Even for sighted people, I can see how it could be useful.
The next step should be to have a database of standardised, free and open source sounds that can be used by any program, so that the same sound means roughly the same thing across all of them (assuming that this feature is not patent-encumbered).

Perhaps they should main for the larger market of making it accessible to sighted people first. There are no words for how terrible the interface is. It is purely mouse driven and this is in no way a feature that increases accessibility to blind people.
