I would also like to know this. I tried fiddling around with an as-
low-as-I-could-go CGEventTap a while ago to try and intercept them,
but they never showed up in the callback. Ditto on the volume and
eject keys.
I think these buttons may work on the same principle as secure
textfields. They somehow get re-routed around the standard event route.

Does anyone have experience intercepting the play/pause and rew/ff
(seek back / seek forward) keys on some keyboards? Particularly, the
MacBook / MacBook Pro keyboards?
These keys control iTunes and QuickTime just fine when they're
running but I'd like to intercept them myself as well. Assuming I'm
using the right terms, I don't see any mention in the archives, on
cocoadev.com, or anything useful on the web at large.
I've tried capturing the events in the raw but they never make it
to the app, so I poked around in the Keyboard & Mouse (Keyboard
Shortcuts) system prefs. The only use I see of F8 (the play/pause
key on the latest MacBook) requires pressing the "fn" key to trigger
it since simply pressing the keys unmodified is not considered F1-Fn.
So I was hoping someone else had figured this out. :-)
