The headset button does mute the mic. It's main function however is to trigger 
a hardware interrupt to the CPU, which can be used to start the actions you 
need to take a pending call. This IRQ function is not depending on on the 
mute, but mute is just a side effect of the way the button inside the headset 
works.
