Public bug reported:

On my laptop, as on most new computers, there are keyboard keys for "volume up" "volume down" and "mute".   (Some even have play, pause, etc.)  Those keys are ineffective on banshee.  What should be a simple one-button operation becomes a round of fiddling with the mouse.  I assume that the "volume up" and "volume down" buttons on my Logitech USB headphones use the same interface -- since they don't work either.  
  C'mon -- if Windows Media Player can do it, so can you.
