I would suggest that xfce-base/xfce4-meta should depend on xfce-extra/xfce4-volumed-pulse, or should be mentioned in the xfce page on the gentoo wiki, as I installed xfce-base/xfce4-meta and was left to search and ask around to find out why the volume control buttons did not function
Do you have xfce-extra/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin installed? Could you test whether it doesn't do the same thing, possibly with USE=keybinder? My keyboard is oldschool ;-).

My > keyboard is oldschool ;-). I do have xfce-extra/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin installed, it did not work to handle the volume control keys. They only started working after installing xfce-extra/xfce4-volumed-pulse
Ok, I'll add both.
I could attempt to make sure it compiles with that keybinder flag if needed. I know it was already installed and not handling the vol keys, but I'm unaware of what flags were used when it was installed.

Could you try that, after all? Now I recall why I removed xfce4-volumed-pulse from my system -- if both it and xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin are installed, I get duplicate notifications for volume changes. Since the latter is more powerful, I think it'd be preferable to use it if it can handle volume keys as well. Please remember to kill xfce4-volumed-pulse while testing ;-).
Just tested it by unmerging xfce4-volumed-pulse and re-merging xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin with the keybinder use added to it, and that worked perfectly. Perhaps adding keybinder to the default use of xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin would be a good idea to avoid this issue for others, or if keybinder is not always used, a note on a wiki page about it?
Thanks. I'll swap the default and update meta.
Alright, thank you
