Hey Skycoder,
I know this is not a very elegant solution and is basically a hacky workaround. But I'd really like to see support for media keys, and I don't want to ask without at least providing some sort of solution. XFree86 are extensions to the keysymdef.h file that X11 lib includes, and is shipped with most major distributions. The problem here was that Qt keys don't map (even 1:1) to these, which makes XStringToKeysym() fail. That X method does load the XF86keysym.h file, however so these are valid keys on all OSs that include these definitions.
If you'd be interested in extending support for media keys, I'd be happy to develop and test on X11 and Windows (don't have access to a Mac). I can employ similar solutions if you can't think of a better one, but I'd be happy to discuss better solutions as well. Thanks!
