Send mute state via MQTT

[mill1000]

Would it be possible for the MQTT interface to send the state of the audio mute?

Via MQTT we can toggle mute, but currently there's no way of knowing if the player was just muted or unmuted.

Thanks. Let me take a look at this. Does MQTT report the volume? If so, does it report -144.0 when audio is muted?

MQTT does not report volume upon entering mute, but does report it when exiting mute.
