If the shortcuts you want to change are listed in the Control menu, you 
shouldn't need to modify the source. Shortcuts defined for menu items 
can be changed in Gnome, although you need to enable that feature first.

You can enable modifiable menu shortcuts in System > Preferences > 
Appearance > User Interface or so. Once the setting is enabled you can 
set shortcuts for menu items by hovering the mouse over the item and 
pressing the key combination you want to use as the shortcut. You can 
again disable modifiability afterwards if you're afraid of accidentally 
changing shortcuts.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 so if you're using something significantly older 
or otherwise different the setting may not be exactly in the same 
location. Also, I don't know how you should go about doing it if you 
aren't using Gnome.

If you especially want to change the default shortcuts in the code for 
some reason, those would seem to be defined in shell/rb-shell-player.c.
