#emacs / Audio transcription with listen

I was trying to use alphapapa's 'Listen' package, which was already installed, for audio transcription, but I struggled to find an intuitive way to skip forward or backward w/o leaving the working buffer. Also challenging was the fact that my keyboard only has a play/pause key.

But since 'listen' seemed to default to #VLC, I decided to use playerctl to control it, regardless of how it was launched. It's a command-line tool that works with MEPRIS players, and I could bind custom shortcuts in GNOME Shell to the play/pause key + a modifier.
