I'd like to think that whatever doesn't work for the player works against it and is seldom a cause of frustration, something that usually we should prevent from happening no matter what.

If it's aimed at a more casual market having a mute button or having a pause on lost focus (which should result in the game being muted as well) is a clear advantage. Honestly, it annoys me when a flash game, or any game now that I think about it, doesn't have an option to almost instantly mute the game. I think it's because I like to be in control of the game and, for instance, if I can't mute the game, customize the controls or save my progress, it feels as though the game is working against me rather than letting me work with it. Ultimately I might realize that it might have been the developer's wish to have it be that way but at first it might scare me away.
