Hi Matthew,
The scenario will be to have an user-application to listen to the mute key
event, compare to hardware mute against OS mute, and sync both mute. When
the application is loaded, it can use this interface to enable it; when it
is unloaded it can disable it.
A config option is also a good idea. I will develop another patch.
Cheers,
Alex Hung
