Fair enough. I just want no app to play any sounds. Like when I hear  
via headphones but have the volume controlled in iTunes instead of  
the System Volume and some application thinks it needs to play a  
sound at 100% volume. *boom*

Only Allan can answer this question and maybe not even right now. And  
even then: TM 2.0 is nowhere near done, I think. I don’t know what  
API he exposes for plugins, but the one to add the menu item should  
be fairly easy. As for the rest, Todd here did some reverse  
engineering and as someone just discussed in another thread, TM 2.0  
will likely feature a whole different Textedit Component incl.  
rendering subsystem  (which is one of the main reasons why it will be  
leopard only) – so that part (based on class dumps) will most likely  
not run without modifications.

To summarize I’d say it depends on how deep the plugin digs into the  
existing stuff. If it is only used to highlight a certain line and  
read the contents from the Text area it should be fairly easy to adapt.
