Public bug reported:
Not sure if this is the right component to file it in, but I have to
start somewhere.
On certain machines there is a microphone mute key. This key, when
tested with xev, is known as XF86AudioMicMute. It is not bound to any
action by default as far as I can tell on a brand new install, even
though it is relatively trivia to support it.
Workaround:
Create a new keyboard application shortcut to the application `amixer -D
pulse sset Capture toggle`, or even fancier:
#!/bin/bash
amixer -D pulse sset Capture toggle | grep -q off
if [ $? = "1" ]; then
notify-send "Mic on"
else
notify-send "Mic off"
fi
However, this really should be addressed such that it is default,
preferably with a better UI more consistent with the volume
notification.
