Then as an added complication, I also made an assumption that xmms needed a third party tool to hook into its controls (hence xmms-shell). Also I've got some extra error checking. For example your script will fail where a) it's first-time use and b) the volume is already zero (maybe you manually turned down the volume, but forgot and thought it was set to mute). In which case ~/.mute-toggle doesn't exist, and you end up passing <null> to aumix. So nnnyyyerrr yaboosux :)
