Volume Settings and Audio Hotkeys

SUGGESTION: Split "Mute" hotkey into "Mute sound" and "Mute music"
This is a Blizzard standard (per default on CTRL+S and CTRL+M) I got very much used to and I find invaluable, I'd like to propose adding the same.
Note that the current "Mute" hotkey doesn't work in the menu, which is where I would need it the most.

SUGGESTION: Missing Volume slider for Voices
As much as I got used to the voices, I would like to have an option to turn them off, or turn them down.

SUGGESTION: Add "Play in Background" option to audio settings
Add an option to mute audio when the game is minimized/not in focus.

BUG: Hotkey "Mute" is not "onClick" but "onPress"
If you hold the hotkey down it repeatedly toggles between audio off and audio on, instead of toggling with each press&release/click, clearly an oversight.

These are all great ideas. Probably not going to be in Beta 7, but I'll do what I can to add them by beta 8.

Thanks!

I've seen that the small usability bug above was fixed, but, if I might, I'd like to press on separate "mute sound" and "mute music" hotkeys again and also have them work in the menu (which mute currently doesn't).

I'd love to have music while I'm playing, but not while I'm queueing for a quickmatch, which can take a long time.

Because I have to cancel the search to go to the option screen in order to mute the music, but then I can't access the option screen again to unmute the music once the game has started, a "mute music" hotkey, that works in the menu, would be a greatly appreciated fix to this standing usability issue for me.
