We also use a simple measurement mechanism which is fine for a user-facing 
situation.

However, what Brian described remains a problem: Doing such measurements when 
user is using a Headset doesn’t make sense!

This is especially problematic for Bluetooth devices: I haven’t figured out a 
way to detect whether the device is a Headset or not! Has anyone figured out a 
way to do this? AVAudioSession properties do not seem to help.
