Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/1307

Describe the solution you'd like

a CSS selector for muted volume like .volume#muted or .volume .muted or .volume.muted so I could make it greyed out when muted
a separate format-muted field in the config that overrides format when the sink is muted so I can for example hide the percentage when muted

Describe alternatives you've considered
using Waybar's wireplumber or pulseaudio which support both options (CSS under #wireplumber.muted or #pulseaudio.muted, config under format-muted)

Not to disagree with the need for it, but another alternative is to use dynamic classes with a volume monitoring scriptlet: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/wiki/ipc#toggle_class

similar thing would be nice to have for the Music module, so you could have classes like .playing .stopped .paused etc.
