I agree, but had the feeling it would be OK (i.e. that the app would not 
really care if it is the consent or the muted mike that holds "unmute" 
back) anyway. This may be wrong. Note that as long as the user mutes by 
using some control in the application, it is the "enabled/disabled" 
property that toggles, not "mute/unmute".
