I know there's a way to make the sound icon in tabs work as a mute toggle (using the chrome://flags menu), but there doesn't seem to be a way to make the play icon in tabs work correspondingly. Does anyone know anything about this?

I'm not sure what you mean by this, can you elaborate? To mute a specific tab you can use the Enable tab audio muting UI control feature under the chrome://flags menu. Are you trying to stop playback completely?
I want to be able to pause it by clicking on the play icon.
Do you have any tab examples that have a play icon, i'm unable to find any.
Sorry it took me so long to respond, but this is what I mean. It appears when streaming from Spotify, for one example. Here's a screenshot (http://imgur.com/XQa1vmY).
I've never seen that before. I'll look into it.
Currently this isn't a feature in ChromeOS or Chrome, but thinking about it, it sounds like a pretty useful idea! Maybe leave it in the suggestions area of the Google forums
