Wouldn´t it be great to be able stop a client ?

When using snapclient on less ore more headless Android TV devices, the Android App on another mobile in the same network is perfect as "remote control", except off "stopping" the client. Of course, the client can be muted, but that´s not the same I guess.

Funny thing is, that pressing mute/unmute re-starts the client again. Maybe the "Stop" isn´t far away...

Moreover, an additional Checkbox in the Snapclient Settings like "Auto start Snapclient" like i.e. "Start Snapclient in stopped mode" could be helpful.

A headless device with a snapclient on it auto-starts, but remains in stopped mode, so it can be (re-)activated by another Snapcast App on a mobile, etc.
