User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0 Build ID: 20151103081951 Steps to reproduce: I opened any page that uses flash player to play videos in a new tab (Youtube using flash is a good example). My operating system is Arch Linux. Flash player version 11,2,202,540. Firefox 42.0. Actual results: The tab showed as usual, but there is no indicator on the tab that the audio is playing. It is valid for all the video/audio streams I have played so far with flash player. Expected results: One would expect to have the audio indicator in tab to be available also for streams played with flash.

Already reported surely.
Whiteboard: DUPEME
The last version of NPAPI Flash on Linux is 11. The API for audio muting was added in Flash 18. As far as I know, it will not be possible to use this feature with Flash on Linux.
