Option on Media items which produce sound and video to mute audio

Registered by Alex Harrington

If you're putting a video and a flash media item on a single layout, they may both generate audio output. It may be desirable to have one or none of the sound tracks playing. Perhaps the FlashMedia, VideoMedia module/plugin pairs need a mute option.

Whiteboard

I think this could be done using an option in the XML of the layout.

This should be a fairly simple addition to the python client, as I see a volume attribute to the video section of libavg

I believe that the activex control to embed media player is also able to set the volume level. I've not programmed using .NET for years so I really don't know a lot about it

(?)
