<pre>Hi,
yes, supporting the feature you ask is totally possible on Wayland. However, it
has nothing to do with Wayland, and here is why:
A Wayland-based display server integrates all of the display server,
compositor, window manager and screen locking in a single program (possible
helper programs aside). This means that the server can handle any input actions
any way it wants regardless of screenlocking or anything. E.g. it can always
forward chosen multimedia buttons to certain programs, doing what you want.
If your DE is not supporting the feature, you have to ask the DE project to
implement it. Wayland has no part in it, except implying a different
architecture for display servers than in an X11 environment.
Therefore I'll mark this as WORKSFORME, since Wayland "supports" it in the way
that nothing is required from Wayland to have it, nor does Wayland prevent it.</pre>
