Audio-only mode

[megascrapper]

It would be nice if there's a mode where it'll stream only the audio instead of with the video. It saves huge amounts of bandwidth when you're just trying to listen to music. Currently the workaround is to open one of the download links in a new tab and play it from the tab.

One way to implement this is something like in Invidious where there's a button to switch between video and audio mode and an option to force audio only by default.

Example video: https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=gDHJ6nBdLD8&listen=1

Audio mode OFF (the headphone button is used to switch between audio and video mode)

Audio mode ON (the player is just showing the thumbnail)

This should be an "easy fix" since the player that youtube-local uses (Plyr), have this feature.

I bet it's only to extract the audio from the source (YouTube), call youtube-local to load the audio player instead of the video player and voila - done! I would love to try to add this, but I can't Python and I don't have the time to try to learn the code for youtube-local :/

Personally, I don't care if the cover of the video are visible.
