Description maxpert 2009-04-28 15:56:27 UTC 
When I hover mouse over an audio file it starts playing. It is very irritating for a user to play sound unexpectedly like this. In fact if user forgets his mouse over the icon he/she will get the preview even if he is not expecting that.
Here is what I suggest:
- On mouse over show a small play button on a corner of icon
- If user clicks play then preview sound

The other work around can be:
- If the sound file is highlighted and mouse is hovered over selected sound file then and only then play the preview
