Global hotkey/mediakey support

More a question/suggestion than an issue, but here goes.

I've been using your plugin for a long time, and I'm especially grateful for you making this. I have however a kind of a request to improve the plugin, but this might be something difficult considering the browser. It would be amazing if we could have global (as in system-wide) hotkeying/media-keying. I'm often listening to a track when someone walks in and wants my full attention, most of the time (as most people, I assume) I'm not looking at soundcloud while I'm listening, and I'd really love to use a shortcut (hotkey/mediakey) to pause my music when the window is not active.

I'm sure there will be a lot of other web applications/situations where this would be super nice to have from a user experience point of view. I understand you work at Mozilla, so I'm sure you'd be the kind of guy to get this done. Thanks for your time/consideration.

It seams this is now possible on windows and mac os systems. However, linux still misses the keyboard control capability. Any plans about this?
