Test, with 'audacious' playing in background, and no headphones:

        # First mute; wait a sec; then unmute.
        % for STATE in Enabled Disabled ; do amixer -c0 set "Auto-Mute Mode" 
$STATE ; sleep 1s ; done
        ALSA lib conf.c:1220:(parse_def) show is not a compound
        ALSA lib conf.c:1686:(snd_config_load1) _toplevel_:24:26:Unexpected char
        ALSA lib conf.c:3406:(config_file_open) /usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf

          Item0: 'Enabled'

          Capabilities: enum
          Items: 'Disabled' 'Enabled'
          Item0: 'Disabled'

Result:  the music goes off for one second (as per "sleep 1s" above);
i.e. the speakers mute for 1 sec, then go back on.

Another test with the headphones plugged in (during which the speaker
is always off): the headphones mute for 1 sec, then go back on.

Seems like this bug's flown, but more tests are needed, I'll try to run
'em.

Thanks for the careful feedback, and HTH...
