Title:
  Mute button on USB headset steals and holds on to mouse focus

Bug description:
  When I press the mute button on my USB headset (Plantronics .Audio 626
  DSP), it steals the "mouse focus" and holds onto it until I press the
  mute button again.

  Expected:

  - microphone is muted
  - nothing else happens

  Actual:

  - microphone is muted
  - mouse can still move but is unresponsive to clicks
  - pressing the keyboard doesn't do anything (except for Ctrl+Alt+F1 which does work and switch to virtual console)

  I'm not sure this is filed against the right package, please reassign
  if it's not. Also, I'm happy to provide more info, but I wasn't sure
  what I could provide (even after reading
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting/).

  This is on a fully up-to-date Precise 12.04 system.
