Comment(by Quozl):

 Yes, as far as I can see SoaS tries to control the volume on a non-XO ...
 the code remains present in git.  It uses XF86AudioLowerVolume,
 XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioMute or the XO F11 and F12 keys.

 See also a
 [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2009-February/022935.html thread
 exactly a year ago] on devel@ especially the followups by you, Carol
 Farlow Lerche and David Lang,

 September 2009 testing of soas63xo and soas70xo by Mikus showed volume is
 still manipulated by Sugar, although the default (muted) was not initially
 helpful.

 See also [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/737 SL 737] (sugar shouldn't
 handle XO keyboard keys directly) for the 0.88 directions.

 My opinion is that since all other mixer applications and applets select
 for mixer updates and update their display when another program makes a
 mixer change ... then so should Sugar.

 If we only need olpc-kbdshim's action on this because GNOME doesn't have
 mixer shortcuts or an applet ... perhaps finding an applet will fix that.
