You will probably need to have xosd installed (I believe some applications have their own OSD engines now, but you should get it just to be sure), and from there configure the OSD settings in whatever media player you are using. For example, Audacious handles OSD for volume, song name, etc.

Well i can use osd_cat and write a script that greps volume from amixer. Maybe I'm not looking for an osd application, i would like to display images when i press volume buttons. Are there special that works like osd but display images? And once again a good hotow for writing scripts or configure som demon.

That's exactly what I want to do since a few days (didn't really have the time).
I thought about stealing the volume osd app that comes with the acpi-ibm. I'm jealous of this nice volume bar..
I think that's the laziest solution I've found
