VLC has overtaken Bluetooth-Headset's Play/Pause button entirely!

Description

VLC has overtaken the Bluetooth headset [Play/Pause] button entirely.

Before VLC was installed on the phone, the [Play/Pause] button o the Bluetooth-headset triggered the Push-to-talk function in the Zello app. After VLC was installed the [Play/Pause] button acted to control only VLC's music Play/Pause ignoring Zello entirely. Even after VLC was closed, also "forced to stop" in the Android system, Zello didn't gain back the [Play/Pause] button's function. After VLC was uninstalled this issue still remains, but now the [Play/Pause] button does nothing in Zello, as if it were not pressed at all! Installing back VLC it still does the music Play/Pause, so the button and the Bluetooth-headset works. Only the change, VLC has done, still remains and I don't know hot to change it back, so Zello could gain back the [Play/Pause] button as it was before.

I also tried re-install Zello, clear Data and Cache. Non of them helped.


Expected behavior

Bluetooth-headset [Play/Pause] button starts "Zello" Push-to-talk function after VLC was closed / uninstalled.

Actual behavior

Bluetooth-headset [Play/Pause] button Play/Pause VLC music, even after VLC was closed. Also uninstalled it does nothing then.


Steps to reproduce

  1. Install "Zello" app from "Google Play Store".
  2. In Zello, three dots at the upper-right corner / Options / Push-to-talk buttons / (+) icon at the button right corent / Press the [Play/Pause] button of Bluetooth-headset. (Zello registers it and begin to use it)
  3. Install VLC from "Google Play Store", play a music from the playlist.
  4. The Bluetooth-headset [Play/Pause] button has already overtaken by VLC from this point. Even closed and uninstalled VLC.
