 i'd suggest multiplexing them all via the STM32F07xx onto one pin.
this will mean that all drivers which use that pin will all receive
interrupts whenever any of the other devices generate one but that is
much more preferable to polling

 i don't understand the question.  the headphone detect pin is the INT/IRQ pin.
