Then I suppose your solution is simple: don't use the volume panel 
plugin, or, if you must, you'll need to patch it not to grab the 
multimedia keys.

Jannis was working on a completely new Xfce mixer + volume panel plugin. 
  I believe it's in xfce4-mixer svn trunk right now.  Might take a look 
at that as well; it might work more to your liking (though I'm not sure 
if he finished the panel plugin yet).
