> As for mute, I think it's pretty objective at this point that an icon based toggle should show the current state,
I can't see this holding up as the primary UI rule. And exceptions only for things like mute toggles are seldom a good thing in interfaces where predictability should be the king. It breaks down on play/pause toggles. The answer in my opinion is to separate the concern of the action and the state and distinctly show both at the same time.
