> The most annoying thing I'm dealing with at the moment is HipChat stealing focus of the play button. When that happens and I hit that play button, HipChat just plays the new message sound. Its so dumb.

Is the HipChat app built on something like Electron? It could be they're using a hidden <audio> element to play the new message sound which the browser engine thinks you want to play/pause.
