I use Squeezebox Server on Windows, and listen to it with a Squeezebox
Boom and one or more Squeezeplay players.

There are semi-frequent occasions when I just want to mute everything.

And I want a mute, not a pause.

I listen to Internet radio a lot, and I notice that pause does seem to
pause and buffer, and what I want is mute, because, I DON'T WANT TO
HEAR ANOTHER CLICKET OR TICKET advertisement.

I usually control the whole setup from a web browser, and it seems my
choices are:

1) Pause/buffer/resume -- not what I want
2) Stop/.../Restart -- which is not the greatest because the restart is
sometimes problematical, it doesn't always restart, and it is slow as
well, as it has to refill its buffers.

What I would like is a mute, keep on streaming just quickly set volume
to zero, and an unmute.

And.... it would be great if it were available from the system tray.

So ... is there a mute function?

What is the easiest way to access it?

When I press pause on my server, or on my SB remote, what actually
occurs?  Is it buffering?  How much time needs to elapse between it
trying to buffer, and it skipping the buffering and muting or stopping
the stream?
