Does anyone know what is the "proper" way of subscribing for the
"action.MEDIA_BUTTON" - (this is sent by the button on the headset and
currently controls the play/pause of the built in player).

The built in music application, registers a broadcast receiver for
that action in the AndroidMainfest which explicitly ties it to that
button.  If another player wants to "hijack" the button it probably
has to register I higher priority receiver and abort the broadcast
chain so the media player does not get it.

Would it be better to register for it dynamically (for example when
the player is playing, or the application window is open) or register
in AndroidManifest which theoretically will prevent the built in
player form ever working.

Has anyone had experience handling this?
