I think I saw some lenovo thinkpad acpi discussions on LKML a few days
ago involving the mute key.  Might be worth looking that up.  I know it
was sometime in the last 4 days.

I searched for 'lenovo mute acpi linux' on google groups which found it.
It appears to be a change in 2.6.23 that causes the problem.
