I think the proper way to bind those hotkeys, is to make them emit the proper 
XF86 key symbols (or whatever they are called). I have the following entries 
in my ~/.Xmodmap:

keycode 129 = XF86Music
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute

You can figure out the keycodes with "xev".
They work in various programs without any further configuration.

Patrick.
