Custom folder icons depending on folder content type

Is there a pattern to enter on the custom icons system so that when a folder includes audio files (i.e. *.wav, *.ogg) inside it then it uses a custom icon for that folder?

I'm doing a lot of sound design and looking for way to optimize finding any folder that contains audio files inside only and leave the rest of the folders as-is.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

No, CFI doesn't have such an if-then clause.

Use a desktop.ini file (create them e.g. via scripting if necessary)

While it sounds like an interesting idea, it would obviously make browsing very slow. In a list of folders, every folder would have to be scanned for its contents.
