Has anyone noticed that the system sounds get disabled when you use this app to pause the music player when locked?

Another bug: now even with Media Player isn't running the cam key acts as the Play/Pause key. Can't count the times my phone's started playing music after accidentally pressing the cam key.
Maybe screw his software disclaimer and fix these few irritating bugs? Or is it actually possible to close (for eg. password protect) code to disallow alterations? Total coding noob (below noob tbh) tossing these questions out here.

Believe it or not, I hadn't seen this thread till today. Thanks to the person on Twitter who posted a link to it.
I basically agree with the rant, though it is stated a bit strongly.
To those offended by the attack on the members of the community, I would point out that companies like Nokia often do their dirty work by using the best members of the community to help out. This site is no exception.
To me, Nokia's basic strategy is to cool things out and keep things as quiet as possible while pretending to be nice and slowly transition the N900 into the toilet so it can get on with its future projects.
To that end, it has encouraged projects like Brainstorm and did encourage things like Mer. They have the function of wasting time and seeming cool, until the victim, too late, notices that they don't accomplish anything significant. Some members of the Council who I respect greatly sometimes seem dedicated to long discussion, consensus-seeking, and amazingly little action. To me, this serves Nokia's ends, not those of this community.
To those who ask what the Council should do -- for starters, it should be more confrontational and strident, in the light of what is happening.
I helped hire many people for Quarterdeck, which was a major corporation for a long time, eventually purchased by Symantec. I wouldn't hesitate to hire many people participating in this thread, including qwerty12.
I can think of many people who insult others in practically every posting. qwerty12 was not one of them. He did let loose on this posting, but he was justifiably angry. One little angry posting and I can see that several are willing to throw him out the window. Not me.

jeez, Quarterdeck ... now THAT takes me back, I dimly remember back in about 1988 running desqview on a 386 to run 4 windowed instances of my bespoke Pascal serial comm's app concurrently for a while (before I rewrote it in ASM to handle all the ports concurrently within my own app). Ah, those were the days ... NOT :-)
Mind you that wee comms program, little though I knew it at the time, ended up being the foundation of my whole career thereafter. I just retired last year, aged 46, after being a pretty successful design/consultancy 'one man band' business all those years, so thank you Geneven for your unwitting assistance!
sorry for the (wildly) OT, just had to be said :-)

Dudes, anyone have anything to say about fixing the bugs?
An allmighty wizard from the Oz said to me:
"You can intercept the dbus call for shutter press, kill the media-control daemon and re-issue the shutter press call" (Thanks, SimonLR)
Does this make sense to anyone?
This is a responce to me asking how the bug I mentioned 2 posts ago could be fixed.
