OK; the patch appears to work in today's -CURRENT (as expected), too.

I hadn't known about the intended behavior of pressing the UP/DOWN
buttons (on the left side of the keyboard) simultaneously; when I try
it with the patch (in -CURRENT), it does drop the volume to 0.  However,
unlike the Fn+End chord, the UP+DOWN chord does not toggle the volume
back to "normal" -- it merely drops it to 0.

In any case, I find it a vast improvement.  I'm willing to file a PR, if
that would help get the code committed....

Thanks again,
david
