I'd assume these keys > are standard across headsets, since they all work on the same devices > (bluetooth mp3 or cellphones etc.) bluetoothd forwards AVRCP key events to user applications by creating a virtual input device (uinput) for it in the kernel. Applications that handle /dev/input devices properly (such as X) should be able to make use of it without any modification. Note however that there is currently no way in X to map keypresses to the devices they originate from. That means that volume change keypresses do not necesarily change the volume of the device they were triggered from.
