It is in Preferences -> Raccourcis claviers (which is translated in
english as Keybindings or Keyboard shortcuts). There is a list of
actions there (with a submenu for Sound), and I have such choices as
Mute, Lower Volume, Pause and Play (or Play/Pause). When I bind this
last action to XF86AudioPlay (one of the keys of my keyboard, but it
could be ScrollLock or any other), and I hit this key, xmms is launched.
I would like to have rhythmbox or bmp launched instead.
There is no entry for audio/x-mp3 in /etc/mailcap for xmms.
I just would like to understand which package of gnome deals with this
so that I could see wether it can or cannot be tailored to my needs.
I will probably end up managing this at the window manager level.
