That mute button sometimes does the opposite of what "mute" means in SL. On the telephones in my house and on my Android, mute turns off the *microphone*, not the incoming sound. (Ditto for some other apps I've seen, such as GoToMeeting. "Hold" is the closest analogue, which turns off both directions.) I'm guessing this is probably the source of some of the confusion.
