This is a "feature" - your menu bar, but not the whole screen, flashes when
you set the sound level to 0. This was handy for a deaf friend who was using
my Mac once. Also handy for latenight sessions when others are sleeping.

>and your session go down in flames.

That I dunno about. Must be a bug in the INIT not handling level 0 correctly.
