there has been a fair bit of discussion on adding buttons, interfacing with oem stereo controls etc.

Possible solutions are direct serial interface (or using a serial button control board to add more buttons),
Hacked game pad
Joystick port (anologue - possible volume, high speed scanning implications)
Also look up girder and the girder HID (human interface plugin) which can be used to get signals from joysticks, gamepads etc.

As for direct with centrafuse maybe you can make a plugin to bypass girder.

There is lots of info ont he forum if you do a thorough search on soem of the things i mentioned (look in input devices)
