or you are in a public transportation... someone slips a hand into your pocket... and a way he go!!! :P

The initial reason for creating headphoned in the first place is for "public transportation situations", so if you are afraid of someone stealing your device in public transportation, simply don't install headphoned

The same goes for losing your phone - simply let someone else call you, that's what you would do when you lose a "normal" phone, too. I personally simply SSH into my phone if I don't know where it is in my apartment and use:

Code:

panucci /path/to/some/mp3file.mp3

After that, simply follow the noise.

To disable:

Code:

killall headphoned

To enable:

Code:

/usr/sbin/headphoned &

It also only stops the media player - everything else is not touched (e.g. ring tones, alarms, reminders, ...).
