Description
EDIT: The previous title of this issue was "Panic button", but we already have one - the stop button. It only needs improvement.

I sometimes find myself in need to silence all sounds - sticky notes, delay/reverb tails etc.
Do you think it'd be good to have such a tool? It might be helpful in emergency situations of some really bad (and loud) breakage.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing Stop button and the audio paths used by sticky notes and delay/reverb tails. Determine how all currently audible sounds are tracked; done means the button silences every sound and active effect tail, including during emergency breakage.
