Having the physical buttons be useful should be pref enabled.

that's what i said! default media player has working volume control while screen is locked, why not instinctiv, but play/pause and previous/next song functions as well? i'm tired of unlock my phone only for tap next song etc, i think this is a very good idea. and is no conflict with camkeyd or whatever if is used while the screen is locked (as long as you don't use the power button 
)
)

Wouldn't the headphones button make more sense, assuming one uses a four contact jack?
Oh, and, the camera button also needs to be handled differently when the camera slider is out. IIRC, even if the camera app is offline, camera button calls camera app, instead of exposee.

How many people have a button on their headphones?

the headphones that came with the phone (mine at least) have a button, although its never actually done anything! not sure if this is hardware or software issue though.

i actually use the headphone daemon that, along with the headphones that
can with the n900 is used to pause/play a song played with the embedded media player. i think use the volume rockers for next/prev is fantastic and even would liek it more then vol up/down, since i usually set a volume and thats it. btw those earphones are really good in noise canceling so in order to hear someone talking to you and not to yell and them, i have to take them off

Edit: I don't have any head phones with hardware buttons, -_-
