X itself doesn't know about anything but pointers and keyboards (after all, they comprised the vast majority of devices in the 80s :) So the best you can expect here is a different log message. However, especially for libinput, it gets hazy and also mostly pointless. aside from some special processing required for touchpads and tablets, we don't care much _what_ a device is, we just pass on the events. If a device has keys, it'll be a keyboard. if it sents KEY_MUTE we pass that on, the compositor/X stack will then handle that however need be. There's no real benefit to us trying to figure out what is a headset and what isn't, we'd still just pass on the keys.
