ThinkPad T400 and the mute button ...

It works - but only if the T400 is plugged into the docking station. Then both
the mute button at the T400 and the button of the external keyboard works fine.
However w/o the docking station pressing the mute button of the T400
gives under KDE the graphical response "mute on" - but that's all, the sound
isn't muted.

Is this behaviour known/expected or worth a bug report ?

BTW the BIOS is at the latest level (I hoped to avoid the command line
eboot=pci w/ the new BIOS but no chance, that parameter is necessary to avoid
an extra wait of about 10 seconds during reboot). OTOH the Intel Management
Extension is way older but I'd like to avoid updating it.
