I confirm this bug. Really annoying.
The solution should be as close to the hardware as possible, so no aplication have ability to lock it.

For example , when I push volume up button in my laptop
- information of pressing the key is processen in very deep level, and volume changes
- no aplication, is informed about pressing any key at all.
- informing apropriate system component about volume change,  needed for example to notify-osd window about volume change.

Example is very simple and maybe not very correct, but the point is:
- processing such keys in deep level of system.

This would solve bug #344978 as well, and help avoid  other similar bugs
.

Basicly volume control buttons should work like ( or almost like )
completely analog hardware potentiometer connected directly to laptop
speakers. In such configuration there is no problems and no place for
bugs any at all.

Bug description:
  When I'm playing games in fullscreen mode, I cannot change the volume
  (laptop, HP tx2115nr with Jaunty) using my notebook keys. It's not
  possible to use my Play/Pause/Stop hotkeys (right side of my screen).

  I would like to change my volume without have to exit the game.
