Headphone Jack On/Off Switch

I don't know if this suggested idea is possible due to the hardware, but wouldn't it be a good idea if, when you pulled your headphones out of the player, the player switched off?

No, the hardware can't detect that the headphones are removed.

could the archos 20 do this? i rememer when i had mine if i removed it or pluged in the headphones that the backlight would turn on

It's tricky, but it could be done. I don't really see the point though.

I noticed the other day that the iPod pauses playback when you disconnect the headphones - but it doesn't unpause it when you plug them back in.

I personally found that behaviour annoying, but I can imagine that there could be situations where a user would like the action of connecting/disconnecting the headphones to make Rockbox do something.  I just can't think what though.

can hardware detect if things are plugged into/removed from the line-out jack?

[LinusN]

No.
