There's no need for a separate application, kmix is best places to
handle volume keys. Here's a patch which adds support for them to it.
http://www.kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/kubuntu_02_kmix_keyboard_shortcuts.diff
Supporting the various ways laptops present these keys to Linux really
isn't KDE's job to fix, it should be done lower down,
e.g. thinkpad-buttons and HAL.
