This remote isn't officially supported under linux, the manufacturers site has a link to a LIRC patch but it's very much out of date. However if you pull the LIRC source out of CVS it has native support for this remote so it's all good.
Then it's a simple matter of compiling LIRC and setting the daemon to start on boot. Compile your favourite media player with LIRC support and add some commands to ~/.lircrc and you're right to go. The file syntax is very easy to handle, here's a sample taken from the MPlayer docs.
begin
button = VOL_UP
prog = mplayer
config = volume 1
repeat = 1
end
begin
button = VOL_DOWN
prog = mplayer
config = volume -1
repeat = 1
end
