It sounds like you may already know the basics of quicklists, but I figured I'd better be thorough anyway

  1. Copy launcher file to your home directory:

    cp /usr/share/applications/deadbeef.desktop ~/.local/share/applications

  2. Open the file for editing in gedit:

    gedit ~/.local/share/applications/deadbeef.desktop

  3. Add this text to the bottom of the file, then close and save:

    X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=Play;Pause;Stop;Next;Prev
[Play Shortcut Group]
Name=Play
Exec=deadbeef --play
TargetEnvironment=Unity

[Pause Shortcut Group]
Name=Pause
Exec=deadbeef --pause
TargetEnvironment=Unity

[Stop Shortcut Group]
Name=Stop
Exec=deadbeef --stop
TargetEnvironment=Unity

[Next Shortcut Group]
Name=Next
Exec=deadbeef --next
TargetEnvironment=Unity

[Prev Shortcut Group]
Name=Prev
Exec=deadbeef --prev
TargetEnvironment=Unity

There are a few other commands in deadbeef -h but these are the only ones that I thought made sense to add.
