For example As far as the hardware is concerned it's just a button - if it's visible to software then there's no fixed function for it and any action taken will be application/system specific. There will normally be a side effect in hardware muting the microphone but that's not intended to be the main effect. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
