Allow setting which sounds are muted by silent mode.
All sound categories are supported, but not all are actually shown in the menu; I've only shown the ones where it seems meaningful to silence them. I was undecided where to put this in the sound menu. It most naturally goes under "Silent mode", but I pushed it near the bottom of the section since the other sound settings are much more frequently used. There are significantly different uses of "silent mode": - I'm asleep. I don't want notifications or calls ringing and waking me up, but I do want alarms to wake me up. (Android almost does this by default--it still plays music in silent mode, which is annoying with the "android randomly plays classical music" bug.) - I'm in a place where I don't want my device making noise; for example, watching a movie. Nothing should play, including music and alarms. This doesn't make it easy to switch between uses, but it's a start. Note that "silent mode silences alarms" is also available in the clock app, buried very deep in options; these use the same setting and will stay in sync.
