lirc and mplayer

Hi,

I can't use media keys of my laptop (play/pause, stop, ...) when I listen to audio files by mplayer. If I watch a video using mplayer, media keys work. So, I was suggested trying to use lirc with mplayer.

I've looked at lirc website and documentation but I've not exactly figured out what steps I've to follow, yet.

What should I do in order to achieve this task? Any ideas?

Regards,

Cristian.
