Toggling a background loop is easy -- see http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/toggle.

Turning off all sounds is easy too -- just use Stop All Sounds (frame action).

It is possible to put all sounds in a nested movie clip in such a way that 

they can be Tell Targeted to play, then hide them by moving that nested 

movie clip to an inactive frame so that TellTargets to the sounds will 

fail. This makes for a way of disabling all event sounds. They can be 

re-enabled by sending that nested movie clip back to an active frame (that 

is, the current frame of the parent movie clip) so that TellTargets once 

again succeed and the sounds are available.

Any streaming sound will stop when its timeline is stopped, and resume when 

its timeline is resumed. So if your sounds were all streaming inside movie 

clips, you could pause and resume them by targeting their timelines 

individually.
