This doesn't seem to work on my M3.
Are you using a physical keyboard to track this or a regular laptop Fn + X key ? (Fn + Play doesn't trigger any event on main, but Fn + Dictation does).

Media keys like play/pause/mute/volume up/down did not work until these changes. They are considered "special keys" in macos and required some extra work to make the callbacks work.
