# Load XF86 keysym defs for media function keys
try:
    Xlib.XK.load_keysym_group("xf86")
except err:
    log.warn("Xlib backend needs python-xlib 0.15rc1 or higher\n")

in _pyautogui_x11.py to load xf86 keysyms for using some multimedia player keys in Linux. I can edit it if there is more efficient way to use it.

Also added some keys in keyboardMapping which I used in a project.

    'volumedown':        _display.keysym_to_keycode(Xlib.XK.string_to_keysym('XF86_AudioLowerVolume')),
    'volumeup':          _display.keysym_to_keycode(Xlib.XK.string_to_keysym('XF86_AudioRaiseVolume')),
    'playpause':         _display.keysym_to_keycode(Xlib.XK.string_to_keysym('XF86_AudioPlay')),
    'nexttrack':         _display.keysym_to_keycode(Xlib.XK.string_to_keysym('XF86_AudioNext')),
    'prevtrack':         _display.keysym_to_keycode(Xlib.XK.string_to_keysym('XF86_AudioPrev')),

I will be adding more such keys as I will know their functions.
