Not sure what happend but for some reason in newer versions of audacious they removed the input plugin that allowed me to bind my multimedia keyboard buttons to actions in audacious. I do see that their is an evdev plug in but it is not detecting any of my devices. So how do I enable controlling Audacious with my multimedia KB. I am using audacious 1.4.5 and audacious-plugins 1.4.4.

EDIT: enabling the global hotkey plugin did the trick.

You could try to bind your multimedia keys to call "audtool" via your WM.
