Are button presses (like wing or head or RC) always passed on by the

I am thinking of adding a function to the firmware so that I can tap the
head button to mute sound.. but I am not sure if the button event will
still
be propagated to the daemon, overloading the button. Maybe I could just
do
everything on the pc.. but I would like to play with the firmware a
little
more.
That depends on what you want to handle locally and from the computer. I
would say that muting the sound requires to have sound sent from the
computer so I would find it more logical to have the computer get the head
button event and decide to do the mute (by siftware or send the mute
command). But in case you just use the usb audio device and don't have the
daemon running, that makes sense to have it locally by firmware.
In such a case, I think the standalone behavior proposal I already
explained a bit would be a good solution. You could associate the mute
function to the head button event in the eeprom (when this will be
possible to do from the api in the near future) and easily enable/disable
that event from the computer. When disabled,the status of the button would
still be sent to the computer but the sequence won't be played. So even if
your applications need to use the head button at a certain point, they
could still disable the standalone head button event momentarily. Though
the daemon/api should handle that instead of the application.
