Hmm, Could this be done with Audio Hijack or Sound Flower? Basically have one 
of those apps steal all sound and route it to /dev/null? I guess another 
possible solution would be to create another sound output device controller and 
go into VoiceOver Utility and re-route VoiceOver output to that device. This 
would allow other sound output to occur but limit VoiceOver output. I expect 
that if the desire is for editing sound on your Macintosh or giving a that you 
would also want a quick way to route sound to the no sound  device and back to 
default sound device.

Perhaps though I am thinking too much into the problem and all the original 
poster needed was the mute functionality. 

                Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn
