1178411 - Mute / Pause on headphone disconnect

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1179077

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: AudioChannel, defect)

Description

[JR Conlin [:jrconlin,:jconlin]]

>> Feature Request Title:
Mute / Pause on headphone disconnect

>> Description of feature, or problem to be solved
It would be useful if the device muted or paused play when the headphone jack was disconnected. Currently, the device will continue to blast Rev Horton Heat or NWA at unsuspecting fellow elevator passengers until the user retrieves, unlocks, finds the app and presses Pause.

>> Impact of implementing the feature/solution
Users will be less likely to annoy others or be publicly ridiculed for their choice in media. 

>> Impact of NOT implementing the feature/solution
Significantly less swearing at our devices before explaining to grandmother why you deaden your ears with that dreadful, obscene racket. 

>> Date required
None specified.

Hi, JR,
I think we already have this feature.
In the music/video app, the audio will be paused when the headphone is disconnected. 
However, I found that the audio will not be paused if I use the browser app to listen audio/video.
I think this is a regression error.

:alwu, You're correct. I was using a browser to listen to music, not the native app. (Which was my oversight.) Further testing showed that if I was using a FxOS app, pause/mute worked just fine.

This is the regression error, files another bug to handle this.
