If you can do button combinations you can control playback with Win+(Z, 
X, C, V, B).  The Windows key is sometimes called the "Super" key.  
Forward and backwards, play and pause should also work if you set up the 
shortcuts via kcontrol....there's a control module called "Input 
Actions" or "Hot Keys" or something like that where you can map things 
like XF86AudioNext to whatever you like.  I map them to dcop calls to 
amarok...I forget the exact calls but they're pretty obvious if you 
look.  dcop amarok playlist next IIRC, and the like.
