Blinking taskbar would be convenient though.
You don't even have to click the "Cancel" button when your queue pops, your settings will return to normal once your start loading into the instance. It's convenient because: 1. You have to click one less time 2. If someone backs out of the dungeon causing you to wait even longer, your temporary sound settings are still there and you don't have to navigate though menus again.
