The volume keys always control the mixer of the first audio device, this can't be changed without modifying the kernel. If X is running, volume keys are additionaly exposed as X keys, and programs may use them to tweak the mixer in a contradictory way, and possibly mess it. I'd recommend to unmap them in X until this bug is fixed. > Is it possible to remap the volume keys? (Currently I have to press Fn-F11 > on the Apple keyboard, which seems a bit cumbersome). In X yes with xmodmap, but this would only affect how they behave in X.
