Option to mute audio while seeking

[advice2020]

Little confused because I have been putting in feature requests in this section, but recently saw that there is also a Feature Request option in the Issues section as well, not sure which one is correct one to use? If someone could let me know. Is this section just for talking about ideas, do developers even look at this section?

Anyways, suggesting to add an Option that while seeking through audio/video to have the audio mute. There is not really any value to hearing random audio noises while seeking.
I am mainly referring to if you hold down hotkey assigned to seek (Left & Right arrows for example which are setup by default). Holding them down performs basically a fast forward / rewind action.
Not as important to me, but this could also apply to hold down LMB and dragging through seek bar in OSC.
Not sure if anyone else would find this useful?

Thank You

Wow, no one would find this helpful?

There is a user script that provides this functionality: mpv-quack. By default it reduces the volume to half on seek, but you can set it to fully mute by setting duckratio = 0.0

Better to deselect any audio stream (press # until 0) while seeking not just mute it could be a performance benefit ?!
