There is good information here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys#Assigning_keys_to_special_functions The first part about finding the raw keycodes, etc. is probably not needed nowadays. As the wiki says, multimedia apps often have support for the media control key (mute, play, volume, etc.) Many Window Managers and Desktop Environments have support for the app launcher keys, and xbindkeys can be used in WMs that do not have support.
