Not sure when this was added over @ Dave's... But here it is...

Headphones:

On both the Droid and the Nexus one, if you are using Sipdroid for VOIP calls, headphones can be a problem (as of 1.2.4 beta of Sipdroid). Outgoing calls are OK. But you may not hear any sound on incoming calls (the other person can hear you). This is because the media volume gets muted. There are steps for a workaround at

Issue 241 - sipdroid - Sipdroid sound problems when using a headset (on Motorola Droid) - Project Hosting on Google Code (Vote for this bug to help get it fixed.)

The workaround is:

1. when the phone is ringing, but before answering, adjust ringer volume down then up.
2. after answering the call, adjust media volume down then up.
You must change media volume up to unmute it. If you know an easier way to unmute the media volume, you can use that. All you have to do is umute the media volume and your incoming VoIP call will work with headphones.
Another possible workaround, on the Nexus One only, is simply to install the official Google Voice application. I tested build 0.3.0. None of my other settings, as listed above needed to change. But it appears that the Google Voice app corrects the forced-mute on incoming VoIP calls with a headset. Unfortunately, the same workaround doesn't resolve the issue on the Droid.

So the main prob should be SipDroid + Nexus...
