wp7 mediaelement stops when unplugging the headset

Question

I am using a mediaelement and when the headset is unplugged I get a mediafailed event with NullReferenceException. Since the media element stream is not working anymore, I want to be able to distinguish this case and to handle it properly.

Answer 1

It is in the windows phone 7 design that when you unplug a headset or your headphones that the music player or other apps using the mediaelement should pause.

You can have a look at the CurrentStateChanged event to see if the state of the MediaElement is changed.
