I have a question...if headphoned is kept running in the background, won't it eat up CPU cycles? If it does eat a noticeable amount, is it possible to code it in such a way that it will only run when it detects the headphone is connected and also end the task after pausing when headphones are removed.

Edit: I also agree that this should be included in the next firmware (as a setting)...maybe someone should make a bugzilla report asking for an enhancement.
