On the application's point of view, everything is fine. It did grab
XF86AudioRaiseVolume, XF86AudioLowerVolume and XF86AudioMute. But it looks
like the keys on your keyboard aren't labelled that way. The problem is that
your keyboard is probably not correctly recognised by X (Xcb directly uses
Xlib).

When testing xvd, Lionel noticed that it wasn't working correctly on Debian
unstable, and he found out that it was because of an API change in xcb (that
of course what announced only in a commit mailing list). That change
happened on 2009-04-11, so if XCB keysyms 3.3 has been released after (i
didn't manage to find a list of tarballs for keysyms on the web), then it's
likely to work, so feel free to change the version number in
configure.acand to let me know ;)

Otherwise, I have a branch that works for older versions of xcb keysyms that
didn't have this change. I didn't upload it in git because I have no idea
how to create remote branches :) But it's available on bzr : 'bzr co
