Bug Description
This report originated from a customer support message...
Description: This is a weird issue but none the less it is annoying. I have installed the ubuntu one android mobile client on my Samsung galaxy s but it seems to have taken over the controls from the stock android media player. I have blue-tooth headphones which have player controls (play, pause, next, etc). After installing the client whenever I press play / pause on the headphone, the ubuntu one media player starts up. i've tried stopping / killing any unbuntu one / subsonic process / application running but it seems to have a life of it's own. I don't want to uninstall the application but have little choice. As I say it's weird but does need sorting.
Can you please raise a bug and get this addressed?

Hi,
this is the relevant information that describes the behavior of applications registering for media button events.
http:// android- developers. blogspot. com/2010/ 06/allowing- applications- to-play- nicer.html
So it should be enough to start the default music player once and that will override the media button registration.
Unfortunately I can't test since I can't log in to ubuntu one right now :-(
hope that helps.
