Apple Remote Play/Pause button

Since installing Snow Leopard I've noticed that the Play/Pause button opens iTunes automatically, this is annoying, I don't use iTunes I prefer to use an app called Ecoute, it's less of a memory-hog, but tis app is pointless if I open itUnes very time I want to pause a song!! Does anybody know how to disable this feature?


P.s: I've found that the Play/Pause button on my keyboard (F8) does the same thing grr! this is annoying!

There are several other users in various forums reporting similar issues related to apple remote and SL: it looks like apple removed the "exclusive mode" for the IR remote and all apps receive at the same time IR commands. I hope this is a bug, otherwise apple remote becomes pretty useless.
I'm quite surprised a bug like this made its way down to the golden master release...

bye
