Mute all sounds and set master volume

I'm in the process of creating the Sound options menu for my game, so basically I want the user to be able to turn all the sounds off and set the volume.

What I'm doing right now is based on a slider widget (using CEGUI) I set the master volume and based on a check box widget I set ->muteAllSounds() or ->unmuteAllSounds(). Mute and unmute seem to just set the master volume to 0 or revert it back, is there a way to just plain disable the sound engine (not play any sounds)?

thanks

No there isn't any function to do that.

thanks for the reply, I'll put it in there

pseudocode:



disable()

stopAllSounds();
set flag disable =true


play()
if diable flag = true
return

Yeah, I would class this as an application specific implementation, a sound libs purpose is to deliver sound, doesn't really make sense to add a 'play no sound' option..
