            Bug ID: 94401
           Summary: Allow media button handling while in screensaver
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: wayland
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: fry.kun at gmail.com

Use case:
Pretend you're in a shared space (e.g. office) and using your laptop. Nothing
or  low-volume music is playing. At some point you lock it with a screensaver &
leave for a while. Meanwhile, your laptop starts playing loud sounds (maybe
some crazy ad on a webpage you have open).
Anyone in the vicinity should be able to use the volume button on the laptop's
keyboard to control the volume.

This had not been possible with X/Xscreensaver (for whatever reasons).
Meanwhile, Windows has had this feature for years...

Would it be possible to add support for media buttons while in screensaver?
