Pinned tab gets muted if it's playing sound and I try to switch to it.

If I pin a tab and that tab is playing some sound, it will constantly show the volume icon on it and once I switch over to that tab instead of switching the tab would simply get muted.
Pin tabs should be mutable, but only by click right-clicking on it and not through the music icon.
Here's a video of what I mean: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/w6fmzvrum5n31u580apzu/opera_2024-06-17_01-08-56.mp4?rlkey=2859ge5wffudffaplqnc4bhr4&dl=0
It also makes it harder to switch between the tab if music is running in the pinned tab.

Maybe if the tab is pinned, and it's playing sound, Opera team can add a little extra room on the tab for the sound icon. We need enough room to select the tab without getting stuck in the mute/unmute loop.

Ah yes, it also drives me crazy. I thought this is Chromium specific behavior, but it is Opera specific behavior.
When hovering such tab, we can see Opera overlay. This is where the mute button could be located:
This way clicking on tab would bring back default behavior of switching to tab, and provide easy way to mute tab without switching to it

@JakubBr This is a great idea and would be an easy solution to implement, since they already have all that space there.
