From what I understand, when your vsrc is muted, the muted() function returns 
an incorrect value, so in effect, mute works, but it's state is lost via the 
video plugin driver.

If this is the case, would you object if "bool _muted" was removed from the 
qtvision class, and in place, a new virtual function was added to the base 
vrsc class to test for broken behaviour on initialisation, and "muted()" 
functions were modified to take into account the test results and report 
accordingly.

Seems better seperation to me, and removes the burden of broken behaviour to 
the correct area. 

Let me know what you think.
