For the kernel writing person who was kind enough to correct me off
list regarding my unix glue issues while sorting out bulk endpoints.

I call this my first Potterling hack. It's a tool button which I add
for new users. I use it to quick mute my soundcard. It was not my
first TCL/TK or GLADE GUI radio button definition, but it was my
favorite. ;-) I still use it.

I have named it a "Potterling hack" because, in some spins, not so
long ago, Pulseaudio hooked into alsa but did not unmute the hardware.
This caused no end of confusion when the GUI showed mute or unmute but
nothing happened to the users sound.

Shhh, please don't tell Lennart Potterling, I don't want him to know I
often jest while having fun with linux.
