Add media key support #68

Not sure if related to #62 – but it'd be great if we could use the media keys (play, pause, etc.) on a Mac keyboard to control the playback. I'm not sure exactly which browsers support this, but I know Safari does.

Love the project!

I'm having trouble finding a way to do this, but it does indeed seem to be possible (works in Google Play Music in Chrome). I thought maybe #62 would do it but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I just realized you were talking about Safari/Mac, which my link doesn't apply to. Oops. I'm not sure how to implement this on Mac/Safari and I can't find any instructions for it.
