No, right now it just pauses the player whenever the headphone is unplugged. There are some caveats to having it resume playback on reconnect (especially where more applications are concerned).
One example: Assume you have Media Player and Panucci open. It's okay to send a "pause" signal to both. You probably don't want to send a "resume" signal to both, however. Which one to choose then? It's not really obvious. The code is open, so if you want to give it a shot, feel free to do so

About the resume play when the headphone is re-connected:
I started on developing an application where this should be possible. As user of this application you are able to select what should be done (play/pause) when the headphone is connected or disconnected.
Eventualy I want it to be capable of doing more than react on connected headphones. See also:
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/actionmanager/
Currently it does pause the mediaplayer when disconnecting the headphone and start playing again when connected, but this is fixed. No UserInterface is made yet for changing settings.
Unfortunatly I havent been able to upload this to the repository yet. So be patient...

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.

The only thing that headphoned uses constantly is a bit of your main memory.

The case that I have in mind is the wired remotes that Nokia has available. Those have for example volume buttons and play/pause/forward etc.
This subject is also discussed here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=21182 (see the pages 3 and 4). I already mentioned your app there.

N97 had this detail while the n900 does not, and on the car it really makes a diference..

You can check out the code from https://garage.maemo.org/projects/headphoned and add the code
If you send me some a2dp hardware, I can try to implement it
If you find a way to have separate volume levels for speaker, headphones, and A2DP, you'll make me happy on my train commutes. :-)

For replay I started thinking.. if the supported players are more or less known, it is possible to check which ones are running. If there is only one program running, there is no problem in choosing. If there is more than one program running, a dialog could be show listing the programs i.e. "Headphones reconnected, continue playing with [panucci] [media player] [none]?"

I think only one player is actively playing something at the same time so is it possible to detect it and then resume it when the headphones are being reconnected?

thanks!
btw. this should be included in firmware release with an option in settings to switch off if needed to
