In particular, it would be very useful to be able to silence Workrave
*AFTER* a break has started.  For example, maybe normally you like the
sounds, but someone is sleeping in the next room and you forgot to
turn the Workrave sounds off until the break started.  Right now, you
can not get access to the necessary controls until the break is over.
I end up switching virtual consoles (using Linux) and logging in on
one of the non-graphical text consoles and figuring out how to silence
the entire computer from a text console, and this all takes time and
meanwhile the person sleeping has woken up and is annoyed.  Plus, I
have just silenced the entire computer rather than just Workrave and
must remember to unsilence the computer after the break is over.

It would be enough if there were a “Mute Workrave Sounds” button you
could click on with the mouse.  This could be right next to the “Skip”
and “Postpone” buttons.
