Yeah, and thats a valid thing to have.
Therefore I don't want to hard "forbid audio for bundling or for mac/win" but just an
weak "make it optional" to make it easy for people that want that audio feedback to
build it with and bundle it with such support.
Like people can just bundle QtSpeech stuff just fine, if they want, but are not required to
do so ;=)

Greetings
