Should mousing over (but not clicking) audio files on the desktop cause them to play invisibly?

A "me too" from me. That's always struck me as a crazy feature. I
don't know if it is feasible to disable it at this stage in the
release cycle, but I'd certainly welcome the change.

I'm not convinced that the upstream bug has had much serious
discussion, it's only one developer commenting so far.
