Play sound

[dertuxmalwieder]

I would like to be able to play sound over Emacs's internal play-sound functionality. Emacs Plus does not let me do that by default:

play-sound: This Emacs binary lacks sound support

I have a (possibly) related question. I would love to give emacs access to the microphone so I can use whisper.el. Looking at this commit it seems you've at least experimented with Camera access. Is this really as simple as adding a plist entry? The Apple Developer docs on the Hardened Runtime make it seem like some compile-time XCode tomfoolery is required. I would love to contribute, but I would need some guidance since I am not a Mac dev. Any suggestions?

@christianromney I've merged your PR (thanks for it 🙏 ). In the case of play-sound I am pretty sure it's not about permission, but rather about implementation. Need to check if there is an implementation of this function for macos.

btw, @dertuxmalwieder did you find solution?

I’m afraid not. The best thing I could find was this: https://github.com/leoliu/play-sound-osx

However, I’m not sure whether that’s more of a workaround than a solution. Does Emacs have native sound on macOS in its sources?

with respect to play-sound, emacs does not.
