A very simple and lightweight deamon to handle keyboard media button events easily.

Run followig command. Replace 'USER' with your username and 'DEVICE' with the device you want to let your music get controlled from

sudo setfacl -m u:<USER>:rw /dev/input/by-id/<DEVICE>

Paste the following snippet into /etc/udev/rules.d/99-userdev-input.rules:

KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", RUN+="/usr/bin/setfacl -m u:<USER>:rw /dev/input/by-id/<DEVICE>"

Reboot, or run the command from Testing to apply changes

You can get it precompiled from my pacman repository

yay -S mediad

Arch: libpulse dbus
Fedora: dbus-devel

Run following command:

cargo install mediad

mediad <DEVICE>

Where 'DEVICE' is the same device you used earlier to give the user permissions
