For what is worth, the same is for android. Whoever thought that changing volume should trigger "play" didn't actually test it.

I thought Audible was a virus, I can't shut it down or stop it and whatever I do, it starts playing

That’s not actually Android, or iOS. It’s the car audio system sending the Play command.

In the Audible settings (and i think in your OS) "continue playback after connecting headphones". Or just uninstall the app if you dont use it.

Oh, I am sure they did test it alright. With a Grinch smile.
