Thanks for these use cases. I think none of them addresses the needs of
an audiophile who is listening to music through their computer, so I
offer the two following cases:

* Johann Sebastian wants to listen to music without interruptions. He
needs a quick way to mute all sound sources except his music player.

* Wolfgang Amadeus wants to listen to music, but he must accept some
interruptions, like incoming calls (both via VOIP and standard phone).
He needs a quick way to mute spam sound, as well as a quick way to pause
his music when he takes a call, and a quick way to restart the current
song, when he's done.

For the latter, Banshee has a "Restart song" function which would be
very useful if exposed through the indicator.


Best regards,
