I can't find where now, but Patchou has stated before that no other programs other than Messenger Plus! itself are allowed to access the sound server, as it would just be using up his bandwith without any benefits to his users!
Doesn't he have a Flatrate? 
^^
Oh, and ... how can't it be a benefit to his users, if people using the plugin use the plus service and so get a benefit?
For starters, the sound database is extremely heavly used and thus this costs a lot of money. People who install Plus! have a chance to also install the sponsor, which pays for these costs. 3rd party apps do not include this possible revenue to be used to maintain those servers and thus will never pay for the servers. In fact, you could even claim that if 3rd party apps are going to use this too, even more ads and sponsor stuff must be included in Plus! to cope with the extra costs....
