Bug Description
I would like a volume or mute control for speakers that did not affect the output when streaming?
Example:
One is streaming over shoutcast with a normal 30 second delay between when the music is played locally and everyone else on the net hears it. Is there a easy way of checking to make sure everything is sounding ok to the end user? Normally I would put the stream URL into a player such as VLC and listen. But that is difficult if you can't mute the playback in your own speakers/headphones as you can't tell what is what.
So far the only thing I have found is either lowering the deck volume to zero wait over 30 seconds raise the volume for say 15-20 seconds lower it again to zero and listen via another player to see how it sounds. A very bad method if you are trying to check during a live show. :/
There has got to be a better method? I searched here on the forums and manual but so far haven't found a solution so I thought better post it as a bug/wish list

A workaround is to set the Master output to "None" in Preferences -> Sound Hardware and set your output device for the Headphones output. To mute Mixxx's local output, just turn the head-volume knob to zero. Then play your stream in VLC to see what it sounds like.
