Thanks. Actually, I was wrong: they are not mute and unmute keys,
but audio volume up and down keys:
$ xmodmap -pk | grep -i volume
122 0x1008ff11 (XF86AudioLowerVolume) 0x0000
(NoSymbol) 0x1008ff11 (XF86AudioLowerVolume)
123 0x1008ff13 (XF86AudioRaiseVolume) 0x0000
(NoSymbol) 0x1008ff13 (XF86AudioRaiseVolume)
And, in fact, they already do what they are supposed to do: I never
noticed this before because I keep my audio framework on mute by default.
