I downloaded and installed this program. It places an icon of a foot on the top bar of the Gnome desktop. The icon changes from a raised foot to a lowered foot when one of the pedal buttons is pressed. It also pops up a little black window that says "Foot pedal function:" followed by either FF, Play, or Rew, depending on the button pressed. So that tells me that the program reads the condition of the pedal. The next problem is to somehow get some other program to listen to it. It doesn't come with documentation at this time, so I'll have to read the source and try to learn some Python to figure out what it does with the signals it gets. But, that's a first step.
