AUdio-DUcking

Project Member Reported by chaok@google.com, Aug 31 2016

Issue description

Mode: force_next
Version: 55.0.2842.0
Reproduction Steps: 
1. Modern screen readers and OS have an audio-ducking feature, where if screen reader TTS + media playback occurs, media playback will lower its volume, so screen reader TTS is audible
2. If this is impl, there should be a hotkey and a checkbox in cvox2 settings to enable/disable "audio-ducking"
3. Somewhat related, I recall there being a hotkey in Classic or it may have been a browser extension that would pause/stop all media playback--this was really useful for a global background.audio.playback.stop, so it was possible to hear screen reader TTS again...

It may be good to add this feature, although I personally would prefer to turn up and down the volume of the application or video in question... maybe just me though.

THe usefulness is highly-dependent on design/implementation. I've seen the UX of this to be better/worst depending on OS/screen reader.
Also, this is a duplicate of 621697
