Feature description

An attached Bluetooth headset can have media controls, like "skip to next track" or "play/pause". Currently the app ignores the Bluetooth media buttons.
Feature request: the app should grab the media buttons and pause or continue recording when "play/pause" on Bluetooth is pressed.

Why do you want this feature?

I want to be able to pause and then continue recording directly from the Bluetooth headset, without the need to unlock the phone and press the pause button in the app.

1. To be sure - do you mean actual recording or playing back the recording?
2. If recording - does the Bluetooth headset record on your device? Because we have an open issue for this: Can not use Bluetooth headset microphone #54.

• yes, it is about recording and not a playback, as already formulated in the initial message: ''...to be able to pause and then continue recording directly..."'
• Bluetooth works just fine for in my case.

Please make this optional only. This could interfere with media player apps while a recording is paused.

This does not sound like a good idea. Media buttons are for controlling playback.
