Suggestion: Let me disable menu/lobby background music while game is minimalized (but keep the ping sounds on, or a checkbox for that)

[thankforpie]

no option for that yet

Firstly, welcome back to 0ad. 

If you want the music to stop when minimised, just decrease it to 0 before the minimisation. 

Alternatively, you can write a GUI mod that does this. Useful command: Engine.PlaySound()

I remember earlier alphas stopped music when you paused the game.

Is this single-player?
