I apologize if this has already been said, but there is an easy work-around if you are experiencing this problem. I noticed some time ago that, if you are using headphones to listen to a book or anything for that matter, simply pulling the headphone plug part of the way out of the jack on the phone automatically stops playback of whatever you are listening to. I found it much easier to pull the plug out a little and pop it back in than to worry about the home button and voice over.

But it works for me just as you described. That is, playing music with the screen locked, then a double press of the home button brings up the track name and artist along with a pause button and at the bottom of the screen the unlock option.
