Allow to mute/unmute audio tracks even when they are locked

I constantly deal with this annoying situation: I keep locked certain audio tracks (to prevent any accidental modification), but I also often need to mute/unmute them (to focus on the edits I'm doing in other tracks). Currently, Premiere Pro does not allow locked audio tracks to be muted/unmuted without prior unlocking them. It would be great if the lock would apply to everything except the "mute" and the "solo" buttons.
