Feature Request: include mic on/off in touch control setting

When you have touch controls disabled via the app then you can still turn the mic on/off via the players' touch controls.

As a parent I'd like to disable Alexa etc now and then for various reasons, at the moment my only choice is to remove the voice service and re-add later.

I think it would be a good idea to include the mic button in the touch controls option, so when off you cannot turn the mic on/off, then add an extra option in the Sonos app to control the mic on/off.

This way you can disable Alexa without needing to remove the voice service.

The microphone On/Off is a physical button tied to the LED because Sonos wants people with privacy concerns to know Sonos cannot turn the microphone on through software.   I doubt they are going to (or even can) change that via software.

Yeah, I get your point 👍

Maybe then an option to disable a voice service per speaker via the app, that can later be enabled.
