You won't get notified for those event adding an XDocumentEventListener, those 
events are not document-wide, but related to some kind of object.
OnAlphaCharInput and OnNonAlphaCharInput are frame objects events (insert a 
frame, select Format - Frame/Object... , see the tab "Macro", there you'll see 
the "Input of non-alphanumeric char" and  "Input of alphanumeric char" Frame 
events).
OnInsertStart, OnInsertDone are events related to an AutoTextk entry.
See

http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m106/sw/source/core/unocore/unoevent.cxx#126

and 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Text/Shape_Objects_in_Text#Base_Frames
"The interface com.sun.star.document.XEventsSupplier is not a part of the 
BaseFrame service, but is available in text frames, graphic objects and 
embedded objects. This interface provides access to the event macros that may 
be attached to the object in the GUI."

So, depending on what you are trying to do, you'll need to take a different 
approach.
