Thank you<br>

    <pre wrap="">Found the answer. The Gnome System..Preferences..Sound control (which 
I've never noticed before) has a panel "Select the device and tracks to 
control with the keyboard". On my system it was set to 'Microphone'.  
Setting it to 'Master' cures the problem.
Still don't know what's getting invoked via acpi though :-(

As you said, Ubuntu uses acpi_fakekey to generate a key-event. This
key-event gets translated into a software mixer control action that
should be configured in gnome keyboard shortcuts.
