For my system (thinkpad z61m with up-to-date jaunty) I still get visual feedback on pressing volume up, - down and mute - but as described pressing mute still gives wrong feedback.

I am not familiar with the conceptional model of hal and acpi-support right now but I wonder why we cannot keep the workaround in /etc/acpi/always-mute.sh to mimik correct mute behaviour?

and about the state of the bug: is fixed the right resolve state for this issue? At least I would inspect something like invalid (base on your comment) :)
