Notification Bar Music Controls?

I played around with the latest OMFGB nightly (8/25) and saw that they added notification bar music controls similar to what is on touchwiz. Anyone know of any way to make this work for a Sense based ROM? I just think it'd be an awesome thing to add to the Sense notification bar since you can control music easily while you're in the middle of an application. It'd fit well in the space that the recent apps would usually take up and autohides when no music is playing.
That said, the things I like about touchwiz style controls allow you to control any music application that is currently running (Spotify, Google Music Beta, etc, at least in the case of AOSP ROMs), and, as mentioned, hides whenever there is no music playing. Only thing I don't like is that they only pull album art and track information from the stock music application, where others will display no information and a gigantic ~unknown-unknown~~ in the status bar. Given that any running application is already in the notification bar with track information directly below that, I think that just having music toggles with no info would be better (plus could have bigger buttons)
Lot of rambling. Guess the thing I wanted to know was if the sense framework allowed this as AOSP does, and would any dev/themer think it's worth tackling?

[Q] android 2.3.7 whatsapp notification on lockscreen

Hello all,
I have a sony xperia play with NXT1.3 rom installed. It came with the NXT lockscreen which has the ability to control the music player from the lockscreen.
Now I would like to get a notification of whatsapp messages in my lockscreen (the same like when I get a text message) and I want to keep the music control function.
does anyone have a good idea how to get this?
cheers

[Q] Apollo Music Player

I was trying new Roms and I thought I try out the CM 10.1 Nightly and I liked the Apollo Music player along with the lockscreen widget for it but the bluetooth was the only issue I had with it so I swapped for another rom. I'm just wondering how could I get Apollo + the lockscreen widget for 4.2.1?

I took it out of the CM 10.1 rom for you. I'm not sure about the widget. Check your messages for the DL, as a new user I can't post it here!

[Q] Change music track from lockscreen? Touchwiz?

Does anyone know of a 4.1.2 MC6 Rom with the option to change the music track from the lockscreen like in CM10.1?
I would like to go back to touchwiz for a while and see if battery life gets any better, and also for the stability since CM10.1 has been pretty bad lately.
Any suggestions?

Touchwiz lock screen doesn't incorporate widgets like aosp does. But some music apps will create their own lock screen with music control.
You can however pull down your notification and skip songs without unlocking the phone.

you have to flash ICS or use 2 music players that both have a fake-lockscreen.
in ics every media app can be controlled in lockscreen it it's configured to do so (most are)

what you meant by fake-lockscreen? i'm using an ics rom and the rom's music player sucked and i wanted to change it

if you cannot switch it off inside your music player preferences i can't help you. many players integrate well with the ics lockscreen. i'm using tune in radio, jetaudio, google music and apollo - everyone controlable from the stock lockscreen.
with fakelockscreen i wanted to say that the lockscreens that come with an audio player aren't really lockscreens. they bypass and disable the real lockscreen and just open an app that's used as a lockscreen. i have bad results with this. for example the display stays on much, much longer, display goes on when changing volume - this behavior drains the battery really fast.
