[Bug 408903] Re: Does not handle microphone mute button (KEY_MICMUTE)

[James M. Leddy]

Okay, I've created some test packages. Please keep in mind these are
only test packages, I haven't even sent upstream yet. To get around the
complications with keycodes over 248 I've remapped to the F20 key, which
most keyboards don't have. We've been using the Function keys for this
purpose for a while now, for example, touchpadtoggle events are F21.

Please let me know if there are any dependencies missing. These packages
were compiled on Precise, and it is very likely they will be overwritten
by a future sru:

You can see what it looks like here:

All the source is in my source directory under the name micmute:

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 9.04

  Pressing the new microphone mute button does not do anything.  It
  should toggle the mute on the current capture device and toggle an led
  that is part of the button.
