XF86Audio not working in certain cases

[Viktor Kojouharov]

It just seemed logical. For instance, if I start, say, an enemy
territory game in fullscreen, these keys won't work. If I switch it to
windowed mode, the keys still won't work. When I open the console (the
game console), the mouse is released, and the keys work.
