Let me use bluetooth/wired headset button to make audio waypoint.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'd like to be able to add audio waypoint by just pressing headset button.

I'm unsure if it's at all possible especially if phone is locked at the time 
the button is pressed.

But it would be quite useful for audio mapping, see 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Audio_mapping

This feature can be used to make some notes during driving a car, riding a bike 
or just walking around without any need to touch the phone.

Recording length can be set up to some configurable value (say, 5 sec) or 
determined by silence period. The latter probably won't work on the noisy 
places so we'll anyway need a default maximum recording length.

Will probably rely on vendor named event:

Or wired headset with Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON
