I haven't been following this thread  closely,but if you are running 
Ubuntu, I  goto System,then keyboard shortcuts then map the volume 
control to my keyboard..Then when that works you can map it to your 
remote...
If you un-installed pulseaudio the sound app,won't work,that's the 
reason it just sits there..It's all tied to pusleaudio..
