  If all you want is a toggle switch, the script below should flip flop.

  If you don't have cam here are some commands that do the same.

mute            unmute
====            ======
cam -v 0,0      cam -v 75,75
aumix -v 0      aumix -v 75
gom -l 0        gom -l 75

  Alsa-utils should also contain commands to do the magic, under alsa
there is a concept of a 'muted' channel, so you shouldn't have to do 
anything fancy like below, you just say mute and unmute...
  I don't have a alsa based machine booted right now... so there is no
example.

    Later,

Simple toggle example:
====
#! /bin/bash

if [ -f ~/.camrc ]; then
  cam -get
  rm ~/.camrc
else
  cam -save
  cam -v 0,0
fi

exit 0
