Meh, I already have a global mute shortcut. I have a keyboard shortcut for this script I found somewhere that toggles mic audio capture in ALSA.
#!/bin/bash
mic_on=$(amixer get Capture | grep '\[on\]')
if [ "$mic_on" = "" ] ; then
amixer set Capture toggle && paplay /usr/share/sounds/ocean/stereo/device-added.oga
else
amixer set Capture toggle && paplay /usr/share/sounds/ocean/stereo/device-removed.oga
