We will actually make use of the aux button in paroli, to open a small
settings app and change the sound settings while in call.

We listen to the dbus signal coming from the framework (sry only python):
bus = dbus.SystemBus(mainloop=tichy.mainloop.dbus_loop)
input_dev = bus.get_object('org.freesmartphone.odeviced',
'/org/freesmartphone/Device/Input')
self.input_intf = dbus.Interface(input_dev,
'org.freesmartphone.Device.Input')
self.input_intf.connect_to_signal('Event',
self._on_button_press)
