It is a bigger issue that the mute key has effect only on the internal speaker, not on the headphone and generates no keycode (this makes no OSD show).

It needs to consider other Thinkpad types, too. Like my X200 (using the same driver), the mute key only mutes the internal speaker, too.

To change this behaviour we need to makes sure it does not break the mute functionality of other Thinkpad types (from very old to latest ones).

This could take more time and discussion upstream.

If it makes sense, I would like to make sure that my fix here works on SL510/410 and get it upstream asap so that it will be included in Natty. At least this makes the mute key/LED works at the degree as other Thinkpads.
