Suggestion: Sound tag extensions?

    I'm basically gonna ask what a lot of people have thougt about in the past, not sure if it's been raised before, but I think this would be a nice addition.
    So we have sound tags, but, they're kind of dull no? I mean we're stuck with one colour and one width in which can't be edited.
    So my suggestion would be to have a sound tag extension so that we could choose the hex code for the color of the background and possibly be able to choose the width (which might be limited in size such as 50px to 500px).
    Where a normal sound tag looks like this:

    It would be nice to see it vary in widths and colours, something like this:
    [PokeCommunity.com] Sound tag extensions?

    So I guess a new BB code would go something like:
    HTML:
    [Sound 300px #FFFFFF="Text"]Url[/sound]
    Thoughts?
     
    I'm pretty sure we don't have extensions in the first place because it would be easy for people to put in the all-annoying autoplay setting into them. There's a limit to how much you can do since if we allow hexcodes and stuff, we can't exclude autoplay from the settings so it'll end up being used. Though I may be wrong.

    When it comes down to it though, this is just another one of those silly aesthetic changes brought up that doesn't really need to be done. @@
     
    Though I agree that it is aesthetic and that it doesn't really need to be done, but I guess that's why it's merely a suggestion. It's not that you'd be able to edit the code in any malicious way, just so that you can choose the color and width. In saying that I'm aware that it's a free web player and that it may not be possible anyway. Maybe I'm being naive in thinking that people couldn't do much to the code itself if they could insert a color code or restricted width code, but eh, even if it isn't something we need, it'd be nice to see.
     
    Honestly, you could probably insert a bit of code that scrubs out any autoplay command/parameter before parsing the params string or passing it on to the module that does.
