Description A. Person 2013-10-04 05:26:47 UTC 
A lot of multimedia-programs support the org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.MediaKeys D-Bus interface of gnome-settings-daemon. The MediaKeys-Daemon is a clone of that dbus-interface using python, with the additional possibility to execute commands on this interface. The following commands can be called:

play
pause
stop
next (track in playlist)
previous (track in playlist)

This makes it possible to bind the mediakeys on your keyboard with the corresponding actions on the interface, and thus control every running media-player.
