        UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"audio-off.png"];
        UIButton *myMuteButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
        myMuteButton.bounds = CGRectMake( 0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height );    
        [myMuteButton setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        [myMuteButton addTarget:self action:@selector(mute) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];    
        UIBarButtonItem *myMuteBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:myMuteButton];   

        [buttons addObject:myMuteBarButtonItem];



        [myMuteBarButtonItem release];
