Sound Reactive Border Skin

[MΣTΛLLIΛN]

What I'm trying to do is create a skin that will pulse in and out with the transparency, reacting to any sound the computer produces, whether it be music, voice or windows default sounds. What I currently have is a rounded corner skin, based on some suggestions made for a user who ONLY wanted a border, but then I made the same border and made its edges come just past the edge of the original border, placing it on the desktop level so that it only reveals a small edge. Then I set its transparency to 60%, then in the box below it, had it react to a mouseover to fade in. When I saw that happen, I got the idea for a sound reactive border that does that same thing, but at random with sound, rather than requiring my mouse to pass over it. I hope I'm making sense. I've included a short video demonstration, simulating what I mean.
