Bug Description
Hi,
hopefully not a duplicate as this sounds to me like a rather vital or expected feature.
Also not sure this feature request affects music app only.
However, I would like to ask for adding support for switching or pausing track using headphone buttons.
Multiple types of headphones have to be considered as I own one button only headphones and others may have separate buttons for "previous", "pause", "next". In case of one button headphones double click should probably switch the track, single click pause it as it is on Android.
Do you have any thoughts on this? How hard would it be to implement this? Does this require any system changes or does it affect music app only?
Thanks for your ideas and opinions.
