For easily running them, I use LaunchBar and set up a 'run shell script' action to execute audioswitch. This means it's 4 keystrokes to run -- command-space to start LaunchBar, A to select audioswitch, then enter to run. I doubt you'd be able to reprogram the eject key to run a shell script. If you could, I'm sure you'd have to use some sort of third-party OS hack -- OS X doesn't easily let you reprogram function keys like that as far as I know.

Thanks! Hello,
