I don't understand the cause of it, but I do know that for whatever reason, using certain music apps with AOSP-based ROMs (like CM10 or AOKP) gives you no volume control on the normal, non-Bespoke head unit. I normally use Spotify, so I've tested it with a number of phones:

T-Mobile GS2 on CM10 - no volume control, only shows "BTA" on the head unit

Galaxy Nexus on stock 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2 - volume control works, will display "STREAMING AUDIO" under "BTA" when BT audio is selected

Galaxy Nexus on CM10, AOKP, SlimROM, LiquidSmooth, Paranoid Android and Bugless Beast - no volume control, only shows "BTA"

VZW GS3 on stock or modified stock ROMs, ICS and JB - volume control works, MIGHT display "STREAMING AUDIO", sometimes it doesn't but volume can still be changed

VZW GS3 on CM10 - no volume control, only shows "BTA"

Nexus 4 on stock 4.2 - volume control works, shows "STREAMING AUDIO", but the phone likes to unpair itself every time I start the car.

I've also tried a couple of these with Rhapsody and Rdio and the head unit responses are the same or similar. In fact, Rhapsody will actually show the artist and song for a split second when it starts playing, then it disappears. Google Music seems to work across the board.

So basically if you want to use any of the decent streaming music apps and want volume control, you'll have to use a stock or stock-based ROM. I don't know if this is the same case for pre-ICS phones/ROMs, though.

I'm currently running CW10 4.1.2 AOKP on my Galaxy s2 i777. As soon as bluetooth connects, I'm allowed 5 seconds to adjust volume. My head unit only displays "BTA". I've only tried this with Double Twist but now I know its a problem with the ROM and not our head units.

I have tried it on two phones (HTC One X+ on stock software and an HTC Incredible on CM7.2), but neither seem to do anything different than the stock APK in the FRS (no volume control, no metadata). Has anyone else tried this patched app with the stock FRS headunit ?

I recently got an FR-S. My SGS3 on CM10.0 (android 4.1) could stream with Pandora over bluetooth, but the volume control didn't work on the stock radio.

So I decided to upgrade to CM10.1 (android 4.2), and now the volume control works! For those of you running old ROMs, perhaps an upgrade could fix it? Upgrading from 4.1->4.2 is a major PITA though. Make sure to flash an upgraded custom recovery beforehand to avoid issues.
