Hrm. I was hoping to use hijack as a last resort since it seems like a dodgy solution. So i'm not sure if anyone really answered this... does the phone mute/pause actually work for anyone? I guess Brendan is saying it is working for him.

It looks like it's gettinga constant supply since the icon is either always on or always off... but the player is never muted or paused... that's what's confusing me. I guess i'll have to play with hijack first and if that doesn't work i'll take 'er all apart and check out the wiring. Thanks fellas!

oh, and i'll do a review once i get the mute working. =]
