For example a jack that supports headsets with a button. The button
could function by simply grounding one of the lines (connected to a
GPIO, of course) or by generating some sort of an interrupt pulse. The
jack might support other kinds of accessories as well. And the required
actions and settling times might differ vastly.

I agree with this, but I'm afraid I don't have the time to extend the
scope of my work that much right now.
