I'd like to keep doubleclick action on the base of singleclick actions
also. But, apple remote only have 6 bottons, there are too many common
commands users needed. There are only few commands can work together
for the doubleclick action base on singleclicks actions. Besides
doubleclick for toogle_fullscreen (which can work fine with play/pause
commands produced by singleclicks of play button), only way to
support most other commands is to simulate doubleclick, and delay or
ignore singleclick. Any idea on this?

I'd like to hear what's the broken API, or how to using it in right
way, then I can fix it. By now I have no idea about what's the
'others' refered.
