hmmm, this works no. Granted it should only start the player and not raise it but works fine from my end.

Doesn't work for me with Ubuntu 11.04, neither with Banshee nor with Rhythmbos set as the default player.

gnome-settings-daemon listens to the media keys (and also speaks mpris if no player grabbed them), it should be responsible for doing this as well.
