I'm not entirely sure, but it appears that this is setup to amplify the ground noise.
I'm also not entirely sure why you would want a gain of 0.1, you would probably want to preserve as much amplitude information as possible.
Also the power circuit on the left shows a resistor ladder with 9V over a 1k resistor on one side, and the same for the other. 9 / 1000 = 9mA, x2 is 18mA. Added with the amplification of noise, I can see where 25mA may come from.

I think this is because it's the ground for both the left and right channels, which is potentially two op-amps worth of power and you don't want this dumped through the headphone jack.
I haven't tested this, but would probably go for a simpler design like this:
