Utilize iOS "audio player" features #41

Many iOS apps that plays audio (itself Music, SoundCloud, Spotify, even Safari etc) features a function that hooks in with the lock screen music player controls: previous/rewind, play/pause, next/fastforward and volume. It's very handy and gives users control without even have to unlock the device. The same function may be accessed from they "swipe-from-bottom" menu.

Wouldn't it be great if this app could access these features, but pass the commands on to the XBMC box? That would also hook into the hardware volume control of the device.

Perhaps some users may want to use the phone while watching, so perpaps this set of features could be switched off/on.

Related to #25, but I would like this even better as it gives more control than volume only and hooks into the hardware buttons.

Attached are screenshots of the Music and Soundcloud app controls on the lock screen. img_2607 img_2606
