[FEATURE] Channel priority, so it will be muted if there's audio in another channel #478

I'm trying to listen to multiple frequencies by scanning/hopping between them.

One of them there's a continuous stream (Airport ATIS), while others have signal only on demand.

I would like to suggest a feature of some kind of "channel priority", so "lower priority" channels are muted automatically if there's signal in a "higher priority" channel.

Scenario example: I'm listening to the ATIS channel. Then, there's an upcoming signal in the Tower channel. The ATIS channel will then be muted, the Tower will play. When the Tower signal is gone, ATIS is played again until there's a signal in a higher priority channel.

I'm trying to workaround this by using shell script and rtl_fm, but so far no success.

I think RTLSDR-Airband is the best software for this kind of feature, so I hope you can add something like this in the future.

Thank you very much.
