Linux USB headset troubles

[powerspike]

I recently brought a Logitech Clear chat pro USB headset to talk to my friends in skype. The problem I'm having isn't major, but it would be nice if the volume controls on the headset worked. I'm guessing whatever command it uses to turn the master volume up and down isn't binded to the sound mixer in whatever driver it's using. Can I use any external applications to fix this? I saw something about aumix being able to blind volume controls to a keyboard or mouse, but I wouldn't know if it would even be possible to bind it to the headset volume. Ah I'm using xubuntu gutsy if that helps at all. : )

Edit: Yippie I think I figured part of it out thanks to a friends help. I used xev to get the keycodes for the headset now all I need to do is figure out how to use xmodmap. I looked over the documentation, but was pretty confused about it. I think I need to use XF86AudioLowerVolume and XF86AudioRaiseVolume and map them to those keycodes. But where do I put them?

Vol UP
KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
root 0x76, subw 0x0, time 1927139125, (-322,311), root:(556,452),
state 0x10, keycode 176 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Vol Down
KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
root 0x76, subw 0x0, time 1927197226, (-172,256), root:(706,397),
state 0x10, keycode 174 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

Edit2: Uh okay I got that working I guess. Though I need to define it in the xorg.conf as an input device? What the hell.. well for now I think I'll just give up. While I don't mind the occasional command line crap this is just too crazy. Stuff like this is just too much for a normal windows user like me.
