Maybe gnome intercepts it, look into gnome-control-center -> Personal -> 
Keyboard Shortcuts. That is done so you can always press the key, no 
matter which app has focus, and gnome automatically reroutes the key to 
the currently active sound player (sonata in my case, not sure whether 
rhythmbox or amarok supports that).
