Background Audio On/Off Toggle
Hi David!
Yes, it's possible to build your own toggle switch 'in slide'. You can add a trigger to Pause/Stop/Play the Background Audio like any other media, or adjust the built-in BackgroundAudioVolume variable to change its volume (as a percentage).
Here's an example where I used a standard trigger to Play/Pause the Background Audio.
And here's a more recent example where I have linked the BackgroundAudioVolume variable to the position of a dial.
Whatever name you give to your playlist, this will show in the media list when you build a standard trigger.
You'll find the BackgroundAudioVariable variable in the Built-in Variables trigger list.
Ashley Chiasson covers this method in one of her brilliant tutorial videos:

Apologies DavidBrown-71c8 if I've misinterpreted your original post.. I thought you were seeking help to find a solution, and elements of my method overlap with your own.
Apology? No, no. Criticism is always welcome and sought after. As a DISC type C personality, I'm always trying to find a more perfect solution, not just one that does the job inelegantly. Your input is much appreciated!
