Hello.

I am using Xawtv with original patch ; it works really great.

(my remote is left unused know).

It seems keys are defined as XF86Audio....

I had to define mine using xmodmap file ( actual keycodes depend on what 
xev is showing) :

keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 222 = XF86PowerDown

These keysyms (XF86...) are defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB.


My 2 cents.
