Ok, it turns out Oreo had an annoying change to how it sends media
button events.  In previous versions of Android and app just has to tell
the system that it is the active audio app and the media events would
get sent to it.  With Oreo the app that last played audio locally is the
one that gets the media events, ALL other previous methods of signalling
active status is ignored.

Since Squeeze Ctrl doesn't play audio it would never get the media
button events.  Fortunately, it looks like I just have create the
resources for audio playback and tell it to play, even without giving it
any audio data, and that would be enough to register the app as having
played audio.

I'll get it fixed in the next update
