Hmm, maybe nowadays KMix comes with its global shortcuts predefined, 
here they were unset.  When I now set them (and disabled the Input 
Actions), they didn't work at first: logging out and back in was 
required.

Which application should catch them?  You've set them as Global 
Shortcuts in that app?  If you've done so and it still doesn't work, 
try grepping through ~/.kde for XF86AudioStop and such: maybe they 
are doubly defined somewhere.  When still without luck, these 
threads might give you some new idea:

Oh, and what do you have set in the Section "InputDevice" 
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
