Should be easy to get the result through a simple shell script,
e.g. for OS/2 one could add after the souper(/vsoup) call the
following lines:

rc = beep( 440,250 )
rc = beep( 880,125 )
rc = beep( 440,250 )

Playing a specific WAV should be also no problem.

There is really no reason to put such a special (and otherwise easily
to accomplish) feature into a more or less generic program like
souper...
