In order to make my raise/lower/mute sound buttons work, I added

   awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioRaiseVolume", function ()
       awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master 9%+") end),
   awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioLowerVolume", function ()
       awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master 9%-") end),
   awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioMute", function ()
       awful.util.spawn("amixer sset Master toggle") end)

to rc.lua.

Buttons work perfectly now, i.e. they change the volume. However whenever I
press one of those buttons, my mouse pointer turns into a watch for about
20 seconds. Is this a feature, or could I fix it somehow?
