What source do you have that indicates it's deprecated?

None. But then again, I didn't say anything about "deprecated". I said it was a "dedicated" app.
 

Also, I have seen references to a receiver for 'listen to' that can be overridden.  A supported music app of your choice can be used to play the search result.

My guess would be that the Voice Actions app launches a generic intent that other apps can catch for that specific command. This does not mean you can customize the app, just that you can respond to some of its predefined commands if you know the corresponding intent.

As another example, if I say "Search for X", I get Dolphin Browser as an option to handle the intent the app generates. Dolphin is simply configured to handle the intent being generated, not specifically designed to work with that app.
