Here is what I use in an init script:
SETK=/usr/bin/setkeycodes
# musicplayer
$SETK e013 129
# play/pause
$SETK e077 130
# stop
$SETK e012 131
# next
$SETK e039 132
# previous
$SETK e074 133
# fn+f1
$SETK e06e 134
# fn+f9
$SETK e01f 135

As previously mentioned, some fn+key do not work at all:
        fn+Esc (volume control) 
        fn+F2 (zoom) 
        fn+F3 (suspend to ram) 
        fn+F4 (suspend to disk) 
        fn+F6 (reduce lcd brightness) 
        fn+F8 (activate/deactivate wifi chip) 

fn+F6 actually does reduce lcd brightness, but does not send any
scancode, whereas fn+F5 does.
