iPhone earphone remote not working since 10.6.5

The inline remote control in my iPhone earphones is not working anymore on my MacBook. I can adjust the volume but can no longer change the tracks / play or pause.

This is on my Mid 2010 13" which was working fine before the upgrade to 10.6.5.

I don't think I'm alone with this issue as I've seen a post on this on the Apple discussion boards, perhaps some of you guys could try it out to see if its a problem for everyone.

Hmm does that mean the apple remote won't work either?

No, the Apple IR Remote works, just tested with the one from my ATV2.

This issue has been resolved with the EFI update released yesterday.
