Audio ducking for muted tabs

Project Member Reported by robertbastian@google.com, Jul 16 
Chrome Version: 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Chrome OS Version: 10575.58.0 (Official Build) stable-channel eve
Chrome OS Platform: Pixelbook
Network info: Ethernet adapter

Steps To Reproduce:
(1) Listen to Spotify web player (https://open.spotify.com)
(2) SSH using the SSH app
(3) Mute the SSH tab
(4) Produce a bell in the terminal (i.e. backspace with no input)

Expected Result: Music volume stays level

Actual Result: Music is ducked as if SSH tab wasn't muted

How frequently does this problem reproduce? 
Always

What is the impact to the user, and is there a workaround? If so, what is
it?
Annoying, no workaround known

This is due to media session. To fix this we'd need to use the muted state to avoid the volume multiplier update for ducking.

I think beccahughes@ has a fix up for review that should fix this.

Though, I'm curious to know how you ended up having audio focus enabled in Chrome OS as it's not enabled by default.

Comment 4 by robertbastian@google.com, Jul 23 

#enable-audio-focus is disabled, this doesn't seem to be controlled by that flag.
