When your brain is processing all this audio stimuli the majority of it will end up be treated as white noise if you're doing any work because your brain will concentrate on other things, reading, walking, talking, etc.. You would have to sit their with your eyes closed focusing on your hearing trying to detect pattern after pattern. Do you really think anyone can do this? This is why we write/use tools to automate these types of things. I think it would be really fun research to work on but absolutely zero practicality. At the end of the day the same usability could be accomplished by using a pc speaker to beep when a critical error occurs.

Well that's my 2 cents :)
