[maemo-developers] how to detect if the headphones are plugged?

[From: Daniel M German]

I am starting to use the N800 in my car, and I think this would be a
great feature. When I get off my car the last thing I want to do is
switch to the music playing application and then hit pause. perhaps
the opposite (plug headphones in, continue playing) option can also be
implemented.


--dmg
