Hi,

There is xosd from this site:  http://www.ignavus.net/software.html
Included in the package is a program "osd_cat" to display some osd like text.

That's exactly what I use it for.  I have bindings to my volume-up/down keys like this:

Key F20 A N Exec amixer set Master 2%+ unmute | tail -n 2 | \
    osd_cat -p bottom -A center -c green3 -s 3 -d 2 \
            -f '-*-bitstream vera sans-*-*-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'
