Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
Some users mentioned scripts to achieve similar results but I feel this could be beneficial if this was add directly to MPV, hopefully others agree.
Suggesting to add an Option that while seeking through audio/video to have the audio mute. There is not really any value to hearing random audio noises while seeking.
KEYBOARD
I am mainly referring to if you hold down hotkey assigned to seek (LEFT & RIGHT ARROW for example which are setup by default). Holding them down performs basically a fast forward / rewind action.
MOUSE
Not as important to me, but this could also apply to hold down LMB and dragging through seek bar in OSC, for consistency.
Hopefully someone would be willing to add this to MPV.
Thank you to anyone who reads this

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how keyboard seeking and OSC seek-bar dragging are handled, then determine where an option could mute audio during those actions; done means the behavior is configurable and works consistently for both interaction paths.
