Winamp causing other players to stop

I use several different players for things on my RAZR HD - Subsonic for streaming from home server, Doggcatcher for podcasts, and generally winamp for music from the device. I'm not sure when this started, but something has been causing Doggcatcher and Subsonic from playing files. Both players will just stop some random time into playing. Through trial and error I've found that if I stop Winamp from running (manually, through apps) this behavior ceases. Is there a fix for this? Known issue/bug?

Another App has requested Audio

I am having the same issue since upgrading to WINAMP Pro on March 14th. Podcasts (using DoggCatcher) randomly stop. Is there a setting I can apply that will stop WINAMP from interfering with my other music and audio apps?

This happens to me with BeyondPod as well.

When it happens, I see something like this:
04-01 14:39:11.700: I/ActivityManager(268): No longer want com.nullsoft.winamp (pid 31833): hidden #16
04-01 14:39:11.720: W/AudioService(268): AudioFocus audio focus client died
04-01 14:39:11.720: I/AudioService(268): AudioFocus abandonAudioFocus(): removing entry for android.media.AudioManager@41e6c898null
04-01 14:39:11.720: W/ActivityManager(268): Scheduling restart of crashed service com.nullsoft.winamp/.MediaPlaybackService in 5000ms

then a half a second later:
04-01 14:39:12.370: V/BeyondPod(374): Widget: 67 MinW:360, MaxW:456 MinH:72, MaxH:72 (4.83 s. since last trace) [MediaAppWidgetProvider]
04-01 14:39:17.090: V/BeyondPod(374): **** Audiofocus change: AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS. Is Playing:true (4.72 s. since last trace) [AudioFocusHelper]
04-01 14:39:17.090: V/BeyondPod(374): Service autoshutdown scheduled from onStart (4 ms. since last trace) [MediaPlaybackService]
04-01 14:39:17.090: V/BeyondPod(374): *** PlaybackSertvice received Command: pause, Option: null (0 ms. since last trace) [MediaPlaybackService]
04-01 14:39:17.090: V/BeyondPod(374): *** Player Paused! (0 ms. since last trace) [MediaPlaybackService]
04-01 14:39:17.100: V/BeyondPod(374): Widget: 67 MinW:360, MaxW:456 MinH:72, MaxH:72 (16 ms. since last trace) [MediaAppWidgetProvider]
04-01 14:39:17.110: V/BeyondPod(374): Updating the Remote Control Client playback state to: 2 (10 ms. since last trace) [RemoteControlClientHelper]

Those entries are filtered, but I have a saved chunk of log from a few seconds before and after. If you need me to look for something else let me know.

As a guess, is Winamp seizing focus so that it can close gracefully? I haven't actually used winamp in a few weeks, and have restarted the device a few times, so have not manually (i.e. via the app) interacted with the service since before the last update. ByeondPod had an update a few days before (March 18) and before that everyone played together nicely.

I am on a Xoom (4.1.2) running Winamp 1.4.10 (non-pro).
