Bug#949689: mpg123: please add temporary mute key
Hi Thorsten,
first of all this is a feature request for the upstream project and not
for debian.
here you can go to make a feature request for mpg123:
https://sourceforge.net/p/mpg123/bugs/
what you can do meanwhile is for example to use a keyboard shortcut.
in gnome-shell you can do this with: gnome-control-center
choose key combinations and scroll down, there is already an entry for it.
Best regards,
Dennis
