It is supposed to go over the KDC.  But I would be _really_ interested on
any events related to volume key presses on the X200s.  I expect it is
issuing one of the ACPI volume notification events with OSI(Linux), and none
without.

If I get a full description of behaviour, etc.  I can simply ask Lenovo
about it.

AFAIK, the native volume control through windows is being done in a
different way, nowadays.  I'd need to know, without OSI(Linux), where the
events are going.  That'd be enough to know when to read EC 0x30 and check
if it is now mute/unmute.
