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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by James M. Leddy (jm-leddy):

[Impact] 
 * People buying thinkpad hardware are not able to use a mic mute key, that comes with 
   their machine

[Test Case]

 * Press mic mute key
 * Observe that nothing happens

[Regression Potential]

 * Very low. This is very isolated code. All it does is add functionality. In fact there 
   are very few deletions in the diffs.

 * There is an existing acpi solution, that's already been mentioned in this bug. I'm 
   not sure how these users would be affected once the upgrade hits, but it was never 
   released as an official fix.

[Original Report]

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.
