I don't have docs so I don't really know.  But the mute LED does not
appear to be controllable from the LED interface and when mute is lit
there's no sound regardless of what ALSA thinks.  When I light the
micmute light, I can still record sound just fine.

The mic mute button does nothing on Windows unless the special driver
is installed, and that driver seems to mute the Windows mixer, so I
think there's nothing special other than a little userspace helper
going on.
