No music on A2DP from Galaxy S2

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and cannot find a way to get my Sony Ericsson MW600 (fully A2DP compliant) BT stereo headset to work with the music player. All other system sounds, telephone, voice commands etc are working fine on the MW600. Even the BT to my car is fine. The Bluetooth settings menu says that the MW600 is "Connected to phone audio". Under profiles for the MW600 pairing it does say Phone: "Connected to phone audio" and also Media: "Use for media audio". The BT will not connect with only the media audio connection selected.

The whole point of the MW600 is for hearing quality music playback, but for all BT settings I tried, the music just comes through the phone speaker, and not through the MW600. I am using the std Samsung music app.

Probably I have overlooked a setting or special condition? Any ideas?
