I have a project for multimedia player running on WP8. Does WP8 SDK supports AVRCP that user can control playback from Bluetooth device? What APIs or events I should use to receive control events? Thanks!

From a consumer perspective WP7 OS supports BT-AVRCP 1.3 and so does WP8 OS. Based on MSDN the BT-AVRCP 1.4 profile is supported for WP8.
From a developer perspective BT-SPP is supported for direct developer reads & writes. I’m not sure if WP8 can successfully open a BT-AVRCP socket, so go ahead and try to open a socket to one and see what happens.
If you’re just trying to play Audio on a Bluetooth headset, use the plain-old WP7/WP8 media playback classes and use the new WP8 AudioRoutingManager to force output on bluetooth headset.
