[arm-allstar] Mute or attenuate link audio during repeater conversation

[Doug Crompton]

Yes, that command was added about a year ago but not well documented.  While it might be useful I still stand by my original comments. Use care adding one way audio to a two way network that you don't have complete control over - that is your own node. It would be very confusing for downstream connections who would not  understand they can't talk to the nodes they hear.

That's a core feature in app_rpt, so, it's present in the BBB / RPI2

releases....How well does it work??? I don't know.
