    I bought a cheapo keyboard the other day that has a few 'multimedia'
    keys such as volume up, volume down, mute and some other rubbish.

    In Windows, the media keys are actually pretty useful when in a game, or
    you're too lazy to play with the audio controls. Because of the speaker
    setup, I can't simply turn the knob on the speaker and make it
    quieter/louder.

    Now, in Linux, I'm wondering can you setup to something like that. I
    tried going to Kcontrol and setting up control to one of those special
    keys. He didn't register that anything was pressed. I started xev, and
    got the following:

    for volume up:

    KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
         root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 2819764, (665,948), root:(669,978),
         state 0x10, keycode 176 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
         XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
         XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
         XFilterEvent returns: False

    KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
         root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 2819832, (665,948), root:(669,978),
         state 0x10, keycode 176 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
         XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

    for volume down:

    KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
         root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 2846764, (434,700), root:(438,730),
         state 0x10, keycode 174 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
         XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
         XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
         XFilterEvent returns: False

    KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
         root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 2846833, (434,700), root:(438,730),
         state 0x10, keycode 174 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
         XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

    and for mute:

    KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
         root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 2867280, (568,721), root:(572,751),
         state 0x10, keycode 160 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
         XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
         XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
         XFilterEvent returns: False

    KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
         root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 2867345, (568,721), root:(572,751),
         state 0x10, keycode 160 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
         XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

    Is there anyway to setup so when I hit one of those keys, aumix triggers
    with a flag to raise/lower or mute sound? Kcontrol obviously isn't going
    to happen, so I'm wondering is there a way to set it up on the level of
    X windows.
