The only guys to almost master this function were the guys at mobifactor.ru - 4 out of 5 buttons.
CorePlayer could recognize one aswell... but those are ol' symbian times
What do you think, could it be possible to use the headphoned-app as a base for building this functionality in Maemo 5?

I mean this one: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33215

It sends a pause command to Mediaplayer when the headphones are unplugged. I think it could probably be useful to install the headphoned and test if/how the dbus-monitor output changes compared to your previous trials. Also the code is open so it could give a hint on how to make this type of functionality.
