Bind the media keys to a specific media player

That's kind of how it used to work before the forced use of MPRIS.
Without this change, only the latest used media player will receive the
signal, which mean that, when I open a video on Firefox, the play-pause
signal will be sent to Firefox and will therefore pause the video
instead of the music I was listening to with Rythmbox.
