Timing turns total and tantrums!

It would be great if once you clicked the initiative order advancement arrow a timer started for that player's turn. There should be a pre-configured turn time allottment and a 5 second warning sound configurable as a stored .wav or one of your sound effects. The GM has to turn the official timer ON and when that session ends it is automatically turned off. At any point the GM can review the timer information and can set this info to be available by player to the players. It would show turn by turn the time taken per player (and the npcs). It would show of course total time taken per session by journal entry. I could use such a tool right now and would use it for sure if it were available and integrated.

The API (a Mentor level feature) can probably do this. This kind of individualized request is what it is there for. :)
Could you also partially accomplish this with the jukebox and audio of a ticking clock and alarm? You'd have to turn it on manually and then manually advance the turn order, but it would be better than nothing for what you want.
