For the media controls, I use Alt, plus the numpad arrows. For example, Alt + 8 is volume up, Alt + K is volume down, U and O are previous and next, and I is play/pause.

I like it!

Re mapping now :)


edit

Now I'm at:

Spare = Mute

Alt Up = Vol up
Alt Down = Vol Down
Alt Left = Previous
Alt Right = Next


I'm sure this will change :)

CAPS -> L CTRL (obviously)
L CTRL -> MODE_LOCK (see below)
R CTRL -> SUPER (used for window manager key mapping, so they don't conflict with anything else)

MODE_LOCK + stuff : see here (includes xmodmap config)

I should probably explain that this layout (except for CAPS -> CTRL) is mostly due to the lack of modifiers on the model M.
