Hi,

first of all, thanks for the nice library!

I cloned the mute toggle functions for the microphone. Furthermore, it seems to be compatible with Awesome 4.0.

Best, Sebastian

Thx for the contribution. I'm willing to merge this, since it is a sensible backwards-compatible extension. But in order to do so, there must be a sensible way to display the state of the microphone to the user. Do you have any suggestions?

For now, I'm modifying the README.

Hi @mokasin thanks for the feedback! To be honest, I only needed the functionality for the Thinkpad T430's mute button (hot key), so I haven't really looked into the widget's code.

Maybe changing the icon to include a muted microphone [0] might be an idea?
