Stop playback when headset disconnected?

Hey Marcus, out of curiosity, I was wondering - would the BB architecture allow you to replicate the iPhone's capability of stopping playback when it detects the headphones or an audio cable being unplugged?

Yes and no. Well, yes, but I'd be leaving about 10% of my users behind (only OS 4.3 and greater support this, and about 10% of my users are still on versions prior to that).

So, my options are either not support it (my current plan), or offer version specific builds, which, if what I'm hoping is available in 5.0 actually is, I may have to do eventually anyway. (Detecting the headset/bluetooth status is really the only thing I get right now in newer versions, 5.0, though, should have some more items that will make the multi-build thing worth it).

Hope this helps, though it's probably not the answer you wanted to hear.
