I think the way headponed works is that when it detects the headphones unplugged, it sends a command to all running media players to pause, using dbus. To support other media players, the media player apps need to provide a dbus interface, then headphoned needs to be updated to send a message to that dbus interface. (I may have got the terminology wrong, but it's something like that).

In other words, it requires work by the authors of both the media player and of headphoned.
