• Slide 14 -- "AVRCP Controls are mapped to Human Interface Device (HID) API" and table of mapping between AVRCP and HID values

IIRC it's also discussed by Larry Ostermann in this video: http://channel9.msdn.com/blogs/charles/inside-windows-7-larry-osterman-on-new-audio-capabilities At least Bluetooth phone Call control is discussed at 00:33:35 according to my notes.

UPDATE: Here is a link to the Windows Bluetooth Driver Stack. Also checkout this other stack question.
