Hi, my bluetooth headphones when are connected with android smartphone allow to control phone remotely. Like change volume of sound, pause and resume, also start next song. 

It'd be superb to have something like this in plasma. :)

When the headphones are connected, BlueZ will automatically register those buttons as virtual keyboard, so it should work just fine without any special support on Plasma side.
It's possible that it generates different key codes than standard volume-up/down, so you may need to adjust your Plasma shortcuts.

Is this bug still current? It works for me. Should this be closed?

Probably. Thanks for the follow-up!
