Disable the audio track for muted playbacks.

Project Member Reported by dalecur...@chromium.org, Sep 11 2017

Issue description

Just like how we disable the video track for background playbacks we should disable the audio track for muted playbacks. We're starting to see more and more muted autoplay, so we can save a fair amount of power and resources by skipping audio decode and not keeping a silent sink open.
 
Unlike video, this isn't blocked by 678663 since every audio frame is a keyframe. There are some technical risks around the quality of our video-only playback path, but nothing that would block this. E.g., Today we allow underflow for video-only sources, for which pause-and-buffer doesn't feel quite as good as allowing varispeed playback.
