Speaker button in tabs should mute or play audio for current tab
See original GitHub issueDescription
When a site is playing audio, the tab that the audio is playing in will show a small speaker icon. You should be able to click this to mute the tab. Unfortunately, that is not working on DEV and BETA channels (BETA worked with 0.56.7, RELEASE works fine). If you right click and choose Mute
from the context menu, it does work
Test plan / Steps to Reproduce
- Visit a site that plays audio (ex: http://beirutnights.com/)
- Ensure audio is playing and that speaker icon shows for the tab
- Try clicking the speaker icon and notice that nothing happens
Actual result:
Speaker button does absolutely nothing
Expected result:
Speaker button should toggle (showing a speaker with a cross through it)
Reproduces how often:

Can this be disabled with a flag or something? I usually have some YouTube music stream playing while I work and tend to Pin that tab. Now I can never switch to the pinned tab playing audio without muting it once or twice.
Code merged - our next Nightly build will have this fixed 😄👍
