xfce4-volumed is responsible for making the XF86Audio* keys work. They work fine without the volumed because we have bound them to amixer (as you can see in Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts), but the advantage of xfce4-volumed is that it displays notifications and reads the xfce4-mixer configuration.

Yes please, if you have a launchpad account, please report this, otherwise I'll forward your information. This is a bug, regardless of the configuration of the mixer he volumed should not crash.
