As I wrote, this keyboard needs a script that adds (with setkeycodes(8))
some keycodes to the kernel.
Also, the list of codes in the xkb definition was incomplete, but since I
count 31 lines now – the same amount as in the definition I wrote myself
when I bought this keyboard a few years back – I assume the current xkb
has a complete keyboard definition for the special keys.
An alternative would be to use the included (open-source!) daemon, but
it's overkill to dedicate a daemon to a few multimedia keys especially
since Gnome and KDE provide more integrated ways to bind these keys
anyway.
If one installs said script so it gets executed when the system boots and
if one selects the right keyboard definition in a recent X version, this
keyboard should work just fine.
There is no bug with either XKB or X anymore, the definition is now
complete, so this report should be closed or forwarded to someone that can
include the boot script for those that have this keyboard.
