6 I didn't have to do anything to get those working, except make sure kmix
7 is loaded on login. It seems that it automatically interpreted the
8 volume controls correctly. And if I remember correctly, even if kmix
9 was't loaded, it was loaded by the first volume keypress.

11 Strangely enough, the volume keys have continued working after the
12 upgrade to xorg-x11 7.0.

19 The following work with kmix:

21 keycode 160 (keysym 0x1008ff12, XF86AudioMute)
22 keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume)
23 keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume)
24
25 The following don't work as shortcuts:
26
27 keycode 162 (keysym 0x1008ff14, XF86AudioPlay)
28 keycode 164 (keysym 0x1008ff15, XF86AudioStop)
29 keycode 144 (keysym 0x1008ff16, XF86AudioPrev)
30 keycode 153 (keysym 0x1008ff17, XF86AudioNext)
