For that you need something in the browser UI. There's a large, maybe
infinite, number of ways to make <audio> not visible even if it's within
the DOM tree. For instance:
audio { position:absolute; left:-1000px }
I can easily have a bookmarklet that goes through the dom tree and
stops (or stops and deletes) all audio elements. I can't have such a
bookmarklet for things that are only reachable via JS scope (and I
don't mean JS object graph, I mean function call chains, since that's
the best way to be evil, site's don't need to let people have access
via object properties).
This doesn't seem like something a typical end user would do. Anyway, if
you want to do it through script maybe mute function/property/something
that affects the top-level browsing context and children, if any, would be
better, as that could take care of other means of embedding sound as well,
such as <embed>, <video>, <object>, and <iframe>.
