Run "xev" and press that key to see what triggers.
Maybe what your keyboard understands for "media player" is not an "audio
player" but a more generic mulmedia player (totem is capable of running
video and audio tracks while rhythmbox only audio).

I don't have such special key in my keyboard but I would try this:
>From "System info", set "rhythmbox" as default application for both,
music and video, and see if that works.
If it works, that could mean that your "launch media player" key is
associated to the default video player application from your system, so
I'm afraid you will have to manually edit the keycode to instruct your
key to launch the audio player instead.
If it neither works, we'll have to start looking into another place :-)
