Android: Starting Netflix Causes Subsonic to Play?

I just noticed that when I start Netflix on my Droid3, Subsonic starts playing. I can't quite work around it, either, because as soon as I leave Netflix and stop the music, I'm back in the same position I started.
I turned off the "Media buttons" option thinking it could be related somehow, but it hasn't helped.
Any thoughts as to what might be happening?
Thanks!

... What signals cause Subsonic to start playing, and which might Netflix be emitting when it starts? (It happens just as the splash screen is shown.)
I can't even imagine what might be causing this behavior. It's a darned mystery.

Install an app called "Headset Blocker" from the market, add and activate the widget. Not sure if that's the issue, but give it a try?

Nice! Thank you for the tip lyric911!
It seems that even if I turn the widget off and remove the widget from my home screens, the problem does not recur. Uninstalling Headset Blocker causes the problem to come back.
After reinstalling Headset Blocker, I even rebooted the phone in the name of science... the problem does not recur! I don't see the app running in System Monitor right now, but it does seem to be working its magic!
I guess this is some type of solution... I wonder why Netflix feels it necessary to... emit a headset button signal? Why on earth would an app do that, I wonder.
Anyway, thanks again for the tip!

And anyway... why doesn't turning off "Media Buttons" in the Subsonic settings prevent this from happening?(!)

Awesome. Had a hunch this was it. I had similar problems with connecting to the bluetooth receiver for my car stereo. As soon as I connected, basically all media players would start playing whatever they played last. The same widget fixed my issue.
