OK, so I've updated the kernel to 2.6.33.2 and loaded the uinput module.

I believe things are connected as I see this in dmesg after pressing the "track skip" button:

input: 00:1B:66:00:31:88 as /devices/virtual/input/input11

mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth /mnt/sda1/Music/f00/aayw.mp3

Starting playback...
[press track skip]
No bind found for key ''.                         


Could anybody point me to a resource that explains how to manually "bind" the headphone controls to xmms, mplayer, rhythmbox, etc since I don't particularly want to use pulse audio

Thanks
John
