Always-on background process to start Media Player from head-phones

To use a Bluetooth headset or earphones on the Jolla, you have to take out the phone, manually open Media player, then start the music.

On the N900, when using a headset, I didn't need to take the phone out of my pocket at all. I simply turned on the headset, (if Bluetooth, it paired immediately), then I clicked the play button on the headset and music would start playing: All without ever taking the phone out of my pocket.

The N900 function required you to have the Media player controller widget running on your desktop, but it could just as well have been a pure background daemon that kept tabs on the headset buttons and started the Media player when needed.
