The patch attached to bug #323840
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=56922&action=view) adds
dbus methods for controlling volume.  I use these in my .lircrc like
this:

begin
  prog = irexec
  button = VOL_UP
  config = dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.Rhythmbox /org/gnome/Rhythmbox/Player org.gnome.Rhythmbox.Player.setVolumeRelative double:0.1
end

begin
  prog = irexec
  button = VOL_DOWN
  config = dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.Rhythmbox /org/gnome/Rhythmbox/Player org.gnome.Rhythmbox.Player.setVolumeRelative double:-0.1
end

I'm thinking of adding a shell script wrapper for these commands and a
sample .lircrc so this is easier to set up.
