Why does plugging headphones in cause Netflix to re-buffer the video feed completely?

0

I noticed that any time I'm watching Netflix (iOS, Windows8, OSX), and I plug in headphones, the video feed stops and buffers all the way from 0%. Why?

@BrianAdkins Seems to me like the tags netflix and audio streaming mean it's on-topic. – Viziionary – 2014-07-21T05:45:35.253

I don't think it's off-topic... I think it's on-topic for both sites. – Brian Adkins – 2014-07-21T10:39:18.337

Why do video streaming services buffer when I plug in my headphones? – nhee – 2015-06-24T16:36:23.920
