I have the same problem and I tried to follow the suggestions here without success :(
I did however find another solution that works though: http://lineak.sourceforge.net/ (It's among the packages in the normal Ubuntu feeds b.t.w.) - Just install the lineakd package - run the lineakd in a console and follow the instructions given - Then edit the config-file for lineakd as follows and re-run: Next = amarok -f Play|Pause = amarok -t Previous = amarok -r It might not be the tidiest solution but at least it will get the job done until this is solved properly.
