   I've received several feedbacks asking to mute the music and the sounds when the user use the side mute button of the iPhone. What fo you guys think about it ?
   This is strnage that it is not automatically handled by the device. The volume of the music/sounds is handled by the side volume buttons, but not the mute button.
   did some of you already imlpemented this ?

   That seems impossible. The button that you flip on the site for mute should turn off the speaker. There must be a misunderstanding.

   No the button does not turn off the speaker. I remember a while back i had a couple of updates for some apps that said, "mute switch now works". I did find a link however that talks about how to use this.

   I added nothing fancy to handle this in my game and I just tested it. It mutes the sound when the button is flipped. I'm using CocosDenshion, maybe it's handled beneath the covers?

   Yes, CocosDenshion is supposed to handle this if it does not then it is a bug with CocosDenshion so please let me know.

   It works fine Steve. No worries. Thanks for your great code and examples.

   I should add that it is just handled by setting up the audio session correctly - different audio session categories handle the mute button in different ways.
