To clarify - these patches do *nothing* to make sound work. They change 
the behaviour of the mute key from changing the hardware state of the 
mixer and not sending a key event to instead sending a key event and 
requring that software perform the change. The behavioural change is 
primarily cosmetic rather than functional. I'm not convinced that this 
is a sensible thing to do at this point in the release cycle, given that 
we have no testing of what other behavioural changes the firmware may 
make.
