Audio doesn't play for Timer Feature on Linux

[th3oth3rjak3]

When the timer expires, a sound is supposed to play indicating that the time has expired. On Windows, this was working as of version 0.1.1 or 0.1.2. The code hasn't changed in regards to how the audio is played so I don't suspect an issue with the implementation. However it's currently not playing the audio file when the timer expires on Linux systems. Only verified so far on Fedora 41 with KDE Plasma.

There is a known issue that's being tracked here: tauri-apps/tauri#3725

It seems like there may be an issue with webgtk and a possible workaround is shown below since it's a small audio file:

// Option 1
let sound = new Audio("data:audio/mpeg;base64,<insert base64 converted audio string>");
sound.currentTime = 0;
sound.play();

// Option 2
const blobUrl = URL.createObjectURL(await fetch(asset).then(res => res.blob()))
const sound = new Audio(blobUrl)
