4.2.1 mute switch doesn't mute.

Subject pretty much covers it. After upgrade to 4.2.1, the hardware switch that used to lock the screen is now broken.

Switching to the up position shows a speaker and the current volume.
Switching to the down position shows a speaker with a slash through it.

Neither position affects the volume of what's currently playing.

It's not supposed to be brilliant, it does exactly what it's supposed to do. If I have my iPad or iPhone connected to my car stereo, the last thing I want to hear when I have the music cranked up is a text or mail notification. Flip the mute switch and that issue is taken care of. If you want to mute the music, just press the pause button.

4.2.1 mute switch doesn't mute.
