Package: xbindkeys
Version: 1.8.2-1
Severity: normal

XBindkeys seems to be dropping certain keycodes when they are added to
~/.xbindkeysrc.

I have a laptop with special media keys (play, stop, volume up/down, mute,
etc) and nearly all of these play nice with xbindkeys, except for the mute
key.

When I do not have a line in .xbindkeysrc handling this key (Mute, keycode
160) I can get events from xbindkeys -k or xev or the like, so I know that
the key itself works. However, when I add a line
to .xbindkeysrc

# Mute
"amixer set PCM toggle"
m:0x0 + c:160

as xbindkeys -k reports, xbindkeys seems to quietly drop the event, as it
doesn't execute the command, or allow xbindkeys -r or xev to see the events
occur.

Other than this, xbindkeys is working fantasticly, even with most of the
buttons on my logitech mx610 mouse (all except the mute key, which also
generates keycode 160 under the above circumstances)
