Is there a way of setting an audible alert for when someone connects to a session you are hosting?
If you are busy in the game sometimes you miss people connecting.
An "automatically accept" option in multiplayer might be good too

Is the Network Control Panel that automatically comes to the top not enough of an alert? Whenever a connection is received this window automatically opens and appears at the very front of your display. Or are you moving the window off to the side (off of the view screen) and leaving it open all the time?

I've put a feature request in on Mantis (30203)

However when I have done hosting, I've never found to have need to have that window permanently open, I accept the request and close the window. If you leave it over the main simulation view screen and close it, you'll get the notification of someone attempting to join by the window appearing

I've found when hosting multiple Sims the connection window doesn't always pop up and can get stuck behind another window.
