Playing music with the device speakers? With wired headset? BT headset?

The volume buttons of the device, of the speakers?

Please be precise in your use cases.

Currently locked means locked, no matter which sound output is used.
However, the question was about your usecases - why do you want this, in which
situations? Hence Quim's question.

Collin: Also, for future reference, please always use the bug template.

The volume controls dont work if the screen is turned off or even if the device
is locked using the power button.
We normally swtich off the screen using the button on the side , next to the
headphone socket or it turns off after a set time, the controls not working
after it means i need to switch screen on again, wastes battery, and also is a
pain especially when you are moving.

I agree this is a must on any device used for music, the last thing you want to
do is fiddle around with the device and making it fall , just to adjust volume,
pause/play. or change tracks.

I think it's same as using the volume keys while you're talking. I bet the
screen gets lock during the phone call to avoid touches from ear but still you
can volume up/down. I also totally agree with krk969.

Discussing this in the Maemo team. Good initial feelings. I will report here as
soon as there is a decision.

I notice this, too.

@Andre Klapper
Yes, locked means locked, but not turn off! Hardware button should work even if
the device is locked...More if is volume button
I agree with krk969

And nobody stated that.

> the device is locked...More if is volume button

That has been written before, no need to repeat it in another comment.
Feel free to vote, though.

Sony Ericsson Walkman phones do it so N900 should too...

Please avoid unhelpful comments like this as they create bugmail. This is a
bugtracker, not a forum, and just because one single company out there provides
this feature it is NOT that N900 "should" do it too.
