Looked into it, the code itself is working (there was a name mapping
problem but I doubt that would cause it?). At least on my laptop
however the mute key doesn't actually appear to work, setting a
working key combo OTOH fixes it, so in theory it should work :/

Have you checked that the right code ends up in xev at all? Perhaps
also try with the fix I just pushed. Maybe it was a mapping problem
after all.
