We already support X's "media" keys, XF86MediaNext and the like. If your
keyboard settings are set up correctly, you should be able to press the
"next" and "previous" keys on your keyboard (assuming of course you have
a keyboard with them) and control RB.
To me it would make much more sense to synthesise those key events.

How does it interact with other global keyboard shortcuts (e.g. I have a
number of things from Gnome's "Keyboard Shortcuts" preferences tool set
to Win-<key>).
Also, setting global keyboard shortcuts probably gets nasty if several
apps want to do it. Particularly if they are running at once, e.g. if
Totem did it as well as your music player.
