Vista - Winamp and other sound program instances

It seems that if more than one program that creates an instance in the mixer
is open, say Winamp and a YouTube clip, you don't get any sound. If you pause
Winamp, you can't resume. If you close Winamp (or the browser running the
YouTube clip) both remain running processes that have to be shut down in Task
Manager to regain sound at all. I'm not sure if this is just Winamp behaving
poorly, but I've had some of the same issues with RealPlayer, Quicktime and
certain video games. Fine for me to be able to handle, but probably not for
someone unfamiliar with Task Manager, and probably very frustrating for those
users. The audio architecture needs to be much more efficient if this is
going to be a real multimedia OS.
