mplayer keyboard control

[Mike]

mplayer must be running in the foreground in order to receive your 
keyboard events.

I've found the best way to use mc for music control is to modify your 
menu file (F9 -> Command -> Edit menu file) and add entries with slave 
commands for xmms/deadbeef/whatever running elsewhere.

eg:

=+ t r & t t
Q       Enqueue tagged files in MP3 Player
                 deadbeef --queue %t
                 set %u

It's also possible to get your window manager to intercept certain key 
combos and send commands to your audio player. The technique varies from 
one wm to another.
