Yes, please read what I write: I do have these keys, they do produce 
the correct XF86* events, and I can assign these events to actions 
such as "Run Command" or "Switch to Next Desktop".  There are just 
no actions like "Play", "Volume Down" or "Mute" that I could assign 
XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioLowerVolume or XF86AudioMute to.  Where, 
under what tab, under what heading do you have those actions?

Weird.  Maybe you need to run ahead and upgrade to 3.5.3?  3.5.[0-2] 
are known to be quite buggy.
