Mods that play sounds with sounds disabled

[dwex]

I have several mods (SCT and Omen3 that I know of at this point) that continue to play sounds even when I've disabled sounds in-game with Ctrl-S. In both mods, they call PlaySound()/PlaySoundFile() without checking any status/config variables.

Is this a bug in the Blizzard API functions, or in the mods? If it's a bug in the mods, can anyone tell me which CVar(s) should be being checked?

Thanks.

I assume it is intented for Ctrl+S to mute only sounds produced by the standard interface.
All CVars are listed here, one of the ones starting with Sound_ should be the relevant one.

That would be a really horrible design. If I say "mute", I expect the game to mute. Sound effects and music are muted separately, but if I mute sound effects, I don't expect SCT and Omen to continue playing sound effects. Mute means mute...

Unfortunately nothing there has any actual documentation, it's just a list. I guess I can play around with them until I find the right one.
