Okay.

Hum... I would try this: Go to System info → keyboard → keybindings tab 
and from there add a new combo to launch your audio player ("rhythmbox") 
from the bottom option, "custom keybindings" or something like that.

If the current key is already being used for the default "Sounds and 
media → open media player" action, just disable it so you can use it for 
your customized command.
