One thing to note that is different from iOS6 to iOS7 with remote control events is that in iOS6 the play/pause events came as one UIEventSubtype:
UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlTogglePlayPause
And in iOS7 they come as two separate subtypes:
UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlPause
UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlPlay
