Well, he mentions that the music being played is actually from his application...so depending on how that is occurring, he might have some control over it, no?
I don't have any experience using ContentProviders so I might be way off here...but is it conceivable that his app exposes a ContentProvider that is allowing access to the music resources? Could a service in his app actually be playing the music? Does it then become his responsibility to watch for phone events? Sure the consuming app should handle such situations and stop using the resource, but as a resource provider should you stop providing it in response to the same events?
