Winamp for android stops playing :S

Further experimentation found the cause, but not yet the solution. I was able to reproduce the effect, at exactly 2:00 after I hit play in the app and turned off my screen it would stop. If I hit play on my bt headphones without "waking up" the phone it would play and keep playing.

The app "Task Manager" has the ability to end running services on screen timeout (mine's set to, you guessed it, 2:00). Even though winamp is specifically excluded from it's kill list, and even though my screen was already off it seems to be killing the app.

I removed all the music/sound/flash items from the list and it still did it, so I cleared the "kill on timeout" list completely and it fixed the issue for me. I'm going to add stuff back in small groups to try to figure out what caused this, it may take a while.

It turns out that you have to exclude the Gallery app from the Auto-End list in task manager (and if you have advanced task killer or any other task manager installed, put it in that exclude list as well). I found that now the Music app that came with the Droid as well as Winamp will now play without stopping.

If anyone knows why Gallery getting killed would stop the music players, I would love to know. But all I know at this point is that now my music players work without stopping by themselves.
