Some requests #8

Lovely little program, however I would love to see two small additions:

1 - Ability to keybind more than just the device swap (specifically recording 
device mute)
2 - Tray icon turns red when recording device is muted

Aswell, I have a bug report:
Under Win7 (x64 if it matters) when I swap from speakers to headset (my only 
devices) the very last note player from any program gets stuck on the speakers 
constantly outputting it.

Glad you like it :)
1 - I have thought that sooner or later I must add a settings window, so I'll 
soon start with it and will them probably make different functions hot-key'able 
as well
2 - the icon shows the state of the playback devices and the recording device 
options are of secondary importance. I believe that this would need to make the 
recording devices as default view, and this is probably something that must be 
also a setting on the global scale. I doubt that anyone would actually use 
recording device listing as default though.

This bug seems really more to be related to your hardware and not AudioSwitch. 
AudioSwitch doesn't interfere with any actual audio, it just send commands to 
Windows' interfaces demanding the swap of the output device. If this is the 
reaction from your audio device(s) then maybe you should try to update the 
drivers or try the swapping of the default audio device in Windows' default 
playback devices window and see if this creates the same behavior. This could 
of course be also some strange bug of the software that's playing the audio - I 
recommend more debugging first of your own environment.

Did some more testing, and I found that the normal way of swapping sources did 
not produce the sound error, and also, this only happened when the program is 
run bare (as in with no commands passed to it).
It also only happened with one program, Spotify, and I'm running the latest 
available drivers.

I have "fixed" the issue on my hand simply by starting AudioSwitch with some 
arguments passed, which I intended to do anyways.

As for the response on the feature requests, awesome! The way that the color 
would change on the icon would replicate the "lit" color as any recording 
software use when recording, and it would not interfere with the normal display 
that it would show, only colored diffrently. An option for this could be one 
way of doing it if you prefer that.

The bug is gone as far as I can see, and the first feature is featured in 2.0.
You can close this issue if you want, the 2nd request I can do without.

ok, the issue with the second request is that if it shows mic status in main 
icon then we'd need to create all <mic status> x <play status> icons, which 
would be a lot :) So I guess it's not as necessary to have it showing both 
statuses. Best option would be probably to set the recording devices as 
default, so you'd always see their status and playback devices would be 
secondary with ctrl+click and so on.
