Mapping media keys to xfce4-mixer

I tried to search and find someway to link my media keys on XPS M1330 to my xfce4-mixer. My keyboard is setup as evdev, running xev shows my keys are already set to XF86Audio(something). I even tried to map xmodmap and it didn't help. Anyone know if it is possible to map keys to control xfce4-mixer?

Maybe, I don't know. I have solved it using another software that comes with ALSA. (The result is the same, it will show up in xfce4-mixer too)

Menu -> Settings -> Keybord --> Application Shortcut Tab

Button Add
  Command: amixer -c 0 sset Master 5+
  Command shortcut: *Press your Vol+ key*

Button Add
  Command: amixer -c 0 sset Master 5-
  Command shortcut: *Press your Vol- key*

Button Add
  Command: amixer -c 0 sset Master toggle
  Command shortcut: *Press your Mute key*
