xmms has a joystick plugin to control it; with a cheap USB gamepad
(optionally transplanted into an old stompbox or something else more
durable) that should do the job. audacious' evdev plugin should also be
able to do this.

I could be wrong, but I'd suspect a pedal for a MIDI keyboard would be cheaper than a USB gamepad, and intended for just that.
