In the X61, The MUTE button always work. It *changes* the way it works
based on OSI(Linux), though. It should be the same on the X200s. That
doesn't mean OSI(Linux) is a bad idea for the X200s, it might be the right
thing to do.

Now, that's new. Messes up the sound hardware? I was told by Lenovo
ThinkPad users that MUTE toggled bit 6 of EC register 0x30, like every other
ThinkPad have done for over a decade...
