I haven't tested it since the last patch but prior to the patch if you
successfully hid and then tried to sneak, you immediately got the message
that you are no longer hidden. If you are playing the invisibility song,
you can't sneak so that option is out. Would be nice if the invisibility
song didn't gray out the Sneak button. That would make Sneak a potentially
useful skill. However, on the realism side it might not make much sense
since the mobs can still hear the flute playing.
