In an app you would be able to control the native media player in the background through MPRemoteCommandCenter to play the current track, skip a track, pause it etc.
Ideally you would be able to view the name of the current track playing and select a new playlist for playback (but I can't see this functionality under MPRemoteCommandCenter)...
There are many apps out there at the moment that make use of this functionality such as CoPilot GPS and DJ Mixer 3.
