For incoming mails, the user can select am mp3 to be played as notification, but this is not audible - only was files are.

I also used to be able to play mp3 files using filtaquilla, but the gobal <audio> element doesn't play mp3s anymore either. Could this be caused by a change upstream (m-c) ?

Thunderbird 101.b4 behaves the same way

Seems to have never worked. Bug 1608773.
nsSound is platform dependent.

On Windows it's using PlaySoundW from Winmm.dll, which looks like it only supports wav format.

Linux/GTK uses libcanberra.so, which on my machine at least is able to play OGG format in addition to WAV, but not MP3.

It looks like bug 1570633 is meant to be the fix, but no progress has been made.
