I temporarily could solve according to #13, but using
"xbindkeys"according to this thread:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xbindkeys . As stated above the on
screen display for audio is then not visible any more! I like this
solution more, because it does not depend on the gui you are using
(unity, cinnamon, ...)

"xbindkeys" uses  "dB"-steps by default. But you also could use "1%+/-"
to toggle the sound.

Be aware that it does not toggle your pulseaudio volume. The "maximum"
pulse sound level you can adjust using the "audio settings" dialog.

You can check everything running "alsamixer" in a terminal and the
"audio settings" dialog.

I also added the amixer commands to my .lirc configuration.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install xbindkeys and graphical configuration program (last not
really needed for this scenario)

 sudo apt-get install xbindkeys  xbindkeys-config

2. Edit a configuration file

gedit ~/.xbindkeysrc

# Increase volume
"amixer set Master playback 1+"
    m:0x0 + c:123
    XF86AudioRaiseVolume

# Decrease volume
"amixer set Master playback 1-"
    m:0x0 + c:122
    XF86AudioLowerVolume

# Toggle mute - this is not used here
#"amixer set Master toggle"
#    m:0x0 + c:121
#   XF86AudioMute

3. Add "xbindkeys" to the programs that should be started after login
