"After reading Vladimirs suggestion, I have found that I can consistently stop my play, next, prev and mute buttons from working by enabeling the locate mouse pointer feature in the mouse preferences. When I disable the feature, the multimedia keys start working again."
Confirmed on my laptop (a Dell 1420n). The fast-forward/rewind/play/stop keys work if and only if the locate-mouse-pointer feature is turned off. I'm also using intrepid.
