Hopefully this can land on the 'little things' list, but can we please get the option to turn off the 'ambiance' sounds when you hit F10 and are in the 'map mode' of the game. My reasons are totally selfish but, when I am flying my mining alt and I want smooth framerates in Youtube on the half-screen I need to put EVE in to the F10 map screen. There is this background music/sound that goes on and on and I would like to turn it off.

Lets face it, when you are watching Christina Hendricks strut her stuff in Mad Men or want to catch a side glance of Kate Beckinsale in the second Underworld movie you don't want some discordant background sounds ruining the moment... am I right?

Please, make this happen. The bloodflow of dozens of miners thank you for your attention to that oversight of audio detail.

At least make it respect the "Music" volume slider. The ambient loop currently ignores both Music and World sliders.
