RFE: 

We need the ability to identify which Tab(s) have audio playing.

When restoring a prior session with many Tabs open some Tabs may have audio (or a video with audio) that had finished playing in the prior session.

These will ALL play together when the Browser is restarted. It can be difficult to go through many (20+) Tabs to locate ALL the audio and video and terminate the playing of each to keep one (or none) playing.

If the Tabs were tinted or flashed until selected (IF they had audio playing) we could locate them fast and stop the audio in the Window from playing. A menu checkbox to enable or disable this feature would be great if the audio had a silent part and then looped only to play several tracks all at once again. :(

This is especially troublesome with "Tab Saver" extensions like TabMix+.

Partial workaround to multiple tabs playing at once: install ClicktoFlash, Flashblock or similar. Of course, presumes the content is flash, which, increasingly, it won't be.
