Enable audio volume keys in light-locker
My audio volume keys (mute, down, up) and media control keys (back, play/pause, forward) don't work when my screen locks. Anyone know of a way to enable theme? Especially the volume... phone rings and the screen is locked, now I have to login to mute or lower volume for the phone-call.
I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

Re: Enable audio volume keys in light-locker
As far as I know that's not available with light-locker. A not-so-great workaround could be removing yourself from group audio. That leads light-locker to pause audio when locking and to un-pause after unlocking.

Re: Enable audio volume keys in light-locker
This would be a great feature to add to light-locker. Not sure if this works with the X screen lock.

I thought as much, bummer. I tried removing pulse but it was the same with straight alsa.
The workaround for me will be to disable automatic locking in xfce4-power-manager and just manually lock with the shortcut W-l.
Marking this [RESOLVED], but if anyone comes up with anything, please post here!

Er, does that work? With [RESOLVED] you're more likely to get people looking for solutions than people with suggestions, no?

Yes, you're right. I'll leave the title as it was and let this thread die a slow, painful death.
