Insane though it may seem, I actually have a use for almost this very 
thing. I purchased an old X20 as a silent (boot off CF card/IDE adapter) 
media centre. I use an external USB sound card, for much improved 
quality (and reduced interference between CPU <-> audio). So I want to 
connect the inbuilt volume keys with the USB card's mixer (/dev/dsp1), 
and the OSD.
