### Steps to reproduce
I added the line 'act_songpausetoggle3 = <XF86AudioPlay>' to my ~/.config/pianobar/config file using the line 'act_songpausetoggle2 = <Space>' as a template
I used 'xev' to determine the headphone's button-
KeyPress event, serial 49, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
root 0x102, subw 0x0, time 20001551, (470,58), root:(474,540),
state 0x0, keycode 208 (keysym 0x1008ff14, XF86AudioPlay), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 172
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
### Expected behaviour
Pressing the touch button on my headphone to stop/start playback similar to pressing <space>
### Actual behaviour
Pianobar does not register any input from the headphones
