Ah, ok. Then that's a question of time, don't actually need them anyway.

Yes, they do (except that fastforward and rewind don't do what they're supposed to in rhythmbox). Then the keys also appear in
sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event5
which actually is no surprise as in 2.6 kernels the scancodes are always mapped to keycodes and mapped back if the scancode is requested, so they can't show up as long as they don't have a keycode. Or am I wrong there?
